The Kunsthalle Mannheim, opened as a museum in 1909, is one of the first civic collections of modern art in the world. Key epochal works of painting from Édouard Manet to Francis Bacon as well as an outstanding collection of sculpture from modernism to contemporary art characterize the museum's profile. In addition to maintaining the collection, the development of top-class exhibitions and provenance research form the focus of the Kunsthalle's academic work.
The Kunsthalle Mannheim opens up both analog and digital museum worlds. Whether the innovative project "From Work to Display", the museum app, Graphiktisch or Collection Wall - the comprehensive digital offerings invite visitors to become active themselves and rediscover the Kunsthalle.
As a city within a city, the Kunsthalle offers much more: with ProgrammPlus, the Kunsthalle has created special event formats that revive the motto "Art for everyone" of founding director Fritz Wichert in order to take a new look at our present through art. From lively discussions to art history lectures, classical chamber concerts, performances and scientific symposia, there is something for everyone. With its various formats and concepts, the Kunsthalle actively appeals to the public and tries to inspire new target groups for the museum.
The art education department regularly offers public guided tours, art talks and workshops for children, young people, adults and families. In a lively exchange with visitors young and old, the Kunsthalle is a place of education and entertainment - even at weekends, on public holidays and during vacations.
Visitors can also look forward to the museum store, gastronomy, Free admission to the atrium and, last but not least, a spectacular view of Mannheim's most beautiful square.
