A large art museum in a glass-cube building, spanning the Middle Ages to the New Leipzig School, with works by Max Klinger.

Its collection of about 4,000 paintings and many sculptures covers medieval German and Netherlandish painting, Cranach, and Caspar David Friedrich, along with East German art and contemporary works from the New Leipzig School. Its treasure is Max Klinger's large Beethoven sculpture. Admission to the permanent collection is about 10 euros. It is closed on Mondays and stays open until the evening on Wednesdays.
