Art historian Ina Jessen developed a new presentation concept for the children's rooms in the house. Starting in the 2026 season, the Museum Haus Dix will expand its curatorial reorientation to include the former children's rooms on the second floor. After the redesign of the central work and living spaces began in 2024, the focus is now on the individual lives of the three children Nelly (1923–1955), Ursus (1927–2002), and Jan (1928–2019). The concept, developed by art historian Ina Jessen, links the biographies of Martha and Otto Dix's children with their respective artistic development and everyday family life in the house on Untersee.
In contrast to the other exhibition areas, the design of these rooms is largely influenced by original exhibits from the family's possessions. On display are artistic works, excerpts from the children's personal libraries, musical instruments, and other artifacts. These contemporary documents—donated to the collection of the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart from the estate of Nelly Dix especially for this presentation—underline the private character of the place. The exhibition thus illustrates the close connection between family history and art-historical themes up to the 1980s.
