Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte

In the location's words:

Since 1927, the Marburg Art Museum has been a central location for the presentation and dissemination of art in the city and region. Together with the Museum of Cultural History in the Landgrave's Palace, it enriches the cultural offerings of the university city.

The architecturally impressive museum building reopened to the public in 2018 after being renovated and modernized in line with its listed status. A new selection from the museum's own collections is presented in barrier-free exhibition rooms.

On display are representatives of classical modernism such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner together with many of his contemporaries. The highlights of the reopening also include the first complete exhibition of excellent post-war avant-garde works from the Hilde Eitel collection. Works from the 19th century are also on display, particularly from the Willingshausen artists' colony with paintings by Carl Bantzer, Johann Giebel and Wilhelm Thielmann, among others, as well as paintings by Otto Ubbelohde.
