The Werner Berg Museum in the heart of the small town of Bleiburg / Pliberk in southeastern Carinthia showcases the work of Werner Berg in the core area of his origins. It houses the rich collection of paintings from the Werner Berg Foundation and provides a representative overview of the life's work of the artist (1904-1981) born in Elberfeld (Wuppertal), who lived and worked as a farmer and painter on a mountain farm high above the Drava since 1931.

The central theme of his artistic work is the landscape and people of his adopted home, Lower Carinthia, observed with the distance of a stranger and the intensity of a loving person. A unique document has been created for the country of Carinthia through his work. The museum is housed in a centuries-old building at the main square of Bleiburg. Annual special exhibitions and a sculpture garden extend the permanent exhibition.

The goal of the Werner Berg Museum is to present those artists who were of significant importance to Werner Berg's development - in particular, these are the artists of German Expressionism, of whom Werner Berg is often seen as a descendant. Oil paintings and woodcuts by Werner Berg, contrasted with the works of Schmidt-Rottluff, showcase his intense artistic dialogue with the work of the Brücke artist, making the exhibition additionally an unforgettable and exciting visual experience.
