About
Since its opening in 1909 - and especially since the 1960s - the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden has been committed to engaging with international contemporary art. Throughout its long history, this mission has been repeatedly revisited by the directors in office.
Situated in the idyllic park landscape of the Lichtentaler Allee in the spa town of Baden-Baden, the listed building serves as an architecturally impressive venue for temporary exhibitions, without maintaining a collection of its own. As a result, the Kunsthalle has a particularly rich exhibition history, whose diversity is documented in more than three hundred and sixty publications and exhibition catalogues.
History
As an internationally renowned exhibition venue, the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden is one of the oldest cultural institutions in the city and the region. Since its opening in 1909 as the exhibition hall of the Freie Künstlervereinigung Baden e.V., it has been dedicated to the exploration of international contemporary art. Today, it is an institution of the state of Baden-Württemberg under the auspices of the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts of Baden-Württemberg.
