In 2021, Kasteel Wijlre estate will organise the international group exhibition Spirit of Kindergarten about the relationship between the ideas of the German educationalist Friedrich Fröbel (1782–1852) and modern and contemporary art and architecture. The exhibition shows work by eight artists intertwined with loans from the collections of art collectors and founders of Kasteel Wijlre estate, Jo and Marlies Eyck, Bonnefanten, Museum Insel Hombroich, Het Nieuwe Instituut and the National Education Museum.

From 11 March 2021 onwards, Kasteel Wijlre estate presents a solo exhibition of Oscar Lourens (1973). ‘GREY MATTERS’ shows Lourens’s fascination for collections which focus on scale, form, color, and space.
