One of Europe’s most talked-about new art museums is a pastoral island in Holzheim, West Germany, that boasts Rembrandts, Roman ruins and a resident sculptor who fires cannon salutes to Mother Nature. Karl-Heinz Mueller, a wealthy businessman who owns Hombroich Island, has a private collection of Rembrandt etchings, Cezanne watercolors, sculptures by Constantin Brancusi and Alberto Giacometti, Lovis Corinth portraits, African masks, ancient Cambodian idols and prehistoric pottery. Visitors pay about $9 to visit the island, but Mueller told Reuters that profit is not his primary motive.
