Guided Story

Can you feel the creative energy in the air? This museum, established back in 1848, has quite the story. It moved several times before settling here in this modern space in 2004. Look up at those expansive windows—they flood the galleries with natural light, giving the art an almost ethereal glow. Did you know this place houses one of the largest collections of Max Klinger, the renowned Leipzig artist? And just behind you, in the Romanushaus, merchants once thrived, driving the city's cultural heartbeat. Art and Leipzig—they're inseparable, don't you think?
