Staatsgalerie Stuttgart
One of Germany's most important art museums, with works from the Middle Ages to Picasso and German Expressionism. Its postmodern new wing is an architectural landmark.
The State Gallery consists of an 1843 neoclassical old building and a new wing designed in 1984 by the British architect James Stirling. The new wing, with its powder-blue railings, green wave-shaped glass wall and circular open-air courtyard, is a landmark of postmodern architecture. The collection includes medieval altarpieces, works by Rembrandt, Monet and Cézanne, and pieces by Picasso, German Expressionists, the Bauhaus and Schlemmer. The contemporary collection is especially strong. General admission costs about €7, and entry to the permanent collection is free on Wednesdays. It is on Konrad-Adenauer-Strasse, about a 10-minute walk from Schlossplatz.
