kunstmuseum

Perhaps people who prefer modern art will enjoy this museum more. But as someone who leans toward realism and neo-classicism, I found little of interest. Perhaps three rooms had traditional art and the remainder was so modern that it was often stretching the definition of the art.

Great venue for the contemporary and modern art lovers. Interesting building, nice exhibitions. Unfortunately, not free with too many security staff watching your every move.

Be aware that several of the reviews do not distinguish the Staatsgalerie from the Kunstmuseum. They are separate museums and the differences are like night and day. The Kunstmuseum is a rather small museum. The upper level is predominantly paintings by Otto DIx, and I recommend this museum because of this collection. The modern art, much of it minimalistic, on the other levels will not appeal to the majority of casual museum-goers. One hour should be enough time to see the Dix permanent collection. This is NOT the museum with the Picassos, impressionists, etc.

This is an excellent contemporary art museum. There are lots of stairs but there are also convenient elevators. The bookstore is outstanding. The staff is super-helpful, with information not only about the museum itself but about tourist sites in the area. Highly recommend.

German art is well represented in this small museum. Some French impressionist works, but otherwise a small regional art museum. Don't be put off by the lime green lego-land look of the entrance, they have a strong collection of modern art here.

I liked the fact that it was open until 21.00 at Friday night, I only visited the main standing exhibition. Otto Dix works are amazing, others did not draw my attention. It is considerable small and may not take more than 1 hour of your time.

Because I live paintings and art I usually make sure to visit at least one art museum where ever I go.This had a lot of modern paintings which are not my passion and a few interesting Picasso,Braque,Klee Pisarro ,Monet,Manet,but don't expect a huge collection.Interesting some Italian paintings probably from Giotto on two wooden pieces dated around 1400.

Again, I'm very subjective in my idea of a good time, but I'm trying to see beyond my personal interests. The Kunst museum is not the most amazing museum around and it is not for anyone. I can't even recommend viewing certain art pieces because they were mostly temporary exhibitions, but I can tell you clearly that if you are interested in contemporary art this is a good place for you to visit. The setup is great, the position of the museum itself is perfect, right by the Schlossplatz U-bahn station and on Koenigstrasse in general. The stairs right by the Kunstmuseum are an attraction of their own, usually crowded with performances or people hanging out for no other good reason than to have a view of the passersby on koenigstrasse. It's all part of the Stuttgart experience, really.Tip: If you're a student, don't hesitate to produce a school or university card at any museum to get a special price and even free entrance in some cases.

this is second time we visited and it hasn't disappointed. we spent a glorious 3-4 hours wandering around and soaking in the atmosphere with an all important a break for coffee and ice cream. i am massive fan of otto dix and that alone was worth the entrance fee alone.i can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who has even a passing interest in german art.

I visited the main exhibition for an hour. I found the arts in the basement pretty nice, on the main floor Otto's work and a few others made me stop for a while. I was not thrilled for this, but I enjoyed it for the time I was there. The cafe at the basement looks nice, and the view from the restaurant on the 4th is the best (but you can visit the museum and the restaurant anyway!).enjoy!

The Kunstmuseum is a modern and contemporary art museum in Stuttgart. It is very interesting if you are a big fan of Otto Dix. If you are not however you'll find a very interesting collection. The spaces are very interesting and the building is amazing..... 10/10. During the day is a glass cube but on the night the interior lighting create a magical effect. The view at the top is great!

The Kunstmuseum is located near the center of Stuttgart in a very modern building. The collection is somewhat small but had a nice variety. The museum focused on the art of Otto Dix, a German painter who was part of the New Objectivity movement in the 1900's. Even if you don't like his work, it was great to see it in this context.

The Kunstmuseum is much smaller than the sprawling Staatsgalerie across the square but being conveniently located near the main shopping district of downtown Stuttgart, there's really no excuse to taking an hour out to pop in an check out the artworks, in our case we were forced in by rain and what turned out to be an exercise in killing time turned out to be an accidental hour well spent.The collection is pretty eclectic but what makes the visit truly worthwhile is the great Otto Dix exhibit (I was exposed to the artists work at the Kunstmuseum) and it really is staggering.While not as well known or impressive as the majority of art museums in Europe, this small charming little museum certainly deserves a visit..

Leaving the temporary exhibits aside, the gallery has three floors. Two are of little interest to all but locals, but the top floor has a magnificent collection of Otto Dix paintings. If you are mildly interested in his work, you'll be more so after you've seen a concentrated sample of his intense, scabrous work. Well worth a visit just for this. The bookshop is not bad either. And the glass square building works dramatically despite the older buildings nearby. The café outside is a good place to pass the time as well.

Large, with a diverse collection of art, from the classic to the modern. A bit difficult to locate in a large complex of other museums. I had to ask for directions at least twice to find it.
