Kunstmuseum

The Kunstmuseum in Stuttgart, Germany, presents modern and contemporary art in a distinctive cubic building. The Kunstmuseum stands in the heart of Stuttgart, Germany.

Berlin architects Hascher and Jehle designed the structure, whose cubic form gives the museum a clear architectural identity. Its glass exterior forms a sleek cube by day. At night, illuminated limestone walls inside the building become visible through the glass. The changing façade makes architecture part of the museum.

The collection grew from the former Galerie der Stadt Stuttgart and a gift from Marchese Silvio della Valle di Casanova. Otto Dix has a major presence in the collection. Works by Willi Baumeister, Adolf Hölzel, and Dieter Roth add further names to the museum’s modern art holdings. The collection spans both modern and contemporary art. It brings together varied styles and movements across modern and contemporary artistic practice.

The museum is recorded as being wheelchair accessible. The Kunstmuseum combines a glass cube, illuminated limestone, and a collection rooted in Stuttgart’s former city gallery. Its architecture and artworks give the place a distinct identity.
