Kunsthalle zu Kiel
A university-affiliated art museum in Kiel with a collection of German painting from the 19th century to the present, strong in North German Expressionism.
The Kunsthalle zu Kiel was founded in 1909 by the Schleswig-Holstein Art Association and is now part of Kiel University. Its collection covers 19th-century Romanticism, North German landscape painting, Expressionist artists such as Emil Nolde, and contemporary art, and it often hosts international special exhibitions. The lower floor also houses a collection of ancient plaster casts. It is closed on Mondays. Admission is about €8–10, and the museum often extends its hours on Wednesday evenings. It is located at the southern end of the fjord promenade near the university district, so it pairs well with a seaside walk.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun 10:00–18:00; Wednesdays until 20:00
