Quick Facts
Guided Story
Can you feel the whispers of history as you step inside this artistic treasure trove? Look up, the intricately decorated ceilings are a marvel in Venetian style. Harry Graf Kessler, the man behind the name, was not just a patron of the arts, but a passionate visionary. Right behind you, in the shadows of the classic architecture, you might sense the presence of his rival, Aimé Charles Vincent von Palézieux-Falconnet. Their fascinating rivalry left a lasting mark on Weimar's art scene. If you glance to your left, you might catch sight of the Bürgerschulbrunnen, its softly flowing water sharing tales of the past centuries. Let the exhibitions here surprise you; they are as diverse and exciting as the history itself.
