Staatsgalerie Stuttgart

Staatsgalerie Stuttgart

The Staatsgalerie Stuttgart is a modern art museum located in Stuttgart, Germany, which opened in 2005. This cubic museum building boasts 5,000 square meters of exhibition space and was designed by Berlin architects Hascher and Jehle. During the day it looks like a glass cube, while at night the glowing limestone walls inside become visible.

The Staatsgalerie Stuttgart is a priceless urban art museum showcasing invaluable medieval artworks. To protect these one-of-a-kind masterpieces from around the world, the museum employs building automation technology and products from the company Kieback&Peter to maintain constant temperature and humidity conditions in the exhibition halls, as well as all the necessary safety and conservation measures for the artworks. The museum’s exhibition focus includes works by the Swabian Impressionist painter Adolf Hölzel and his contemporaries, as well as contemporary art from the region. Most prominently featured are the works of German painter and printmaker Otto Dix—the museum houses the world’s largest collection of his works.

During the day, visitors can enjoy stunning views of the city and the surrounding hills along the glass walkway. At night, the entire building transforms into a captivating illuminated sculpture standing on Schlossplatz (Palace Square). The museum's shop, bookstore, bar, restaurant, and numerous multifunctional halls make it appealing not only to art lovers but also to passersby or visitors to Stuttgart who may pause for a longer stay.
