Kunstsammlung Jena

In the location's words:

The municipal art collection shows contemporary art in changing exhibitions and promotes discourse in the university city. Special exhibitions on classical modernism make Jena's art-historical heritage visible and tie in with the exhibition tradition of Jena's citizens in the early 20th century. In addition to international art, the work of young artists is also presented.

The collection comprises over 10,000 works of painting, graphic art, photography, video, sculpture and object art and focuses on the art of the 20th and 21st centuries, from classical modernism to contemporary art from Germany and abroad. It brings together regional and nationally significant works that make up its art-historical value.
