Robert Wilson passed away on July 31, 2025, at the age of 83. In the final weeks of his life, he outlined four public “Memorials”—communal ceremonies he wanted to be held in four cities that were particularly significant to his life and career: New York, Paris, Berlin and Milan.

The Memorials are open to the public. Attendance is limited, and reservations are required. Please register through our Memorials Page.

Following the Robert Wilson Memorial, the Akademie der Künste and the Robert Wilson Stiftung invite you to a get-together in the foyer, to provide time and space for exchange, conversation, remembrance, and looking to the future.
