Bielefeld Art Hall

　　Bielefeld Art Hall is a museum and exhibition center for modern and contemporary art, situated on the southwestern edge of the old town of Bielefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building housing the Art Hall is an architecturally striking structure designed by the American architect Philip Johnson — this being the only building he designed in Europe — and was funded by the German business magnate Rudolf August Oetker.

　　In 2002, Bielefeld Art Hall underwent a comprehensive renovation. The cubic-shaped building features a red sandstone facade and houses three exhibition levels: one on the upper floor and two on the lower floor, totaling 1,200 square meters of exhibition space. It showcases important 20th-century artworks, including pieces by Picasso, Sonia and Robert Delaunay, Max Beckmann, Man Ray, works from the Bridge and Blue Rider groups, as well as many other masterpieces.

　　Surrounding Bielefeld Art Hall is a sculpture garden that displays works by masters such as Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, Richard Serra, and Olafur Eliasson, along with pieces by contemporary sculptors. As a result, visitors can enjoy visual art both inside and outside the Art Hall.
