Museum Neues Weimar
A neo-Renaissance building opposite the Bauhaus Museum, showcasing the 'Neues Weimar' modern art movement, from Liszt and Nietzsche to Van de Velde.
The museum was built in 1869 and is among Germany's earliest purpose-built museum buildings. Reopened in 2019, it focuses on the 'Neues Weimar' era between 1860 and 1919: the Weimar School of painting, Impressionism, Art Nouveau and Van de Velde's designs, which can be seen as a prelude to the birth of the Bauhaus. A combined ticket with the Bauhaus Museum costs about €15. The two museums face each other across the square and are worth visiting together.
