Essentials about the Hamburger Kunsthalle in brief

The Hamburger Kunsthalle houses one of the most important public art collections in Germany. The museum consists of three interconnected buildings, whose total exhibition space adds up to more than 13,000 square meters. The Kunsthalle’s collections span from the Middle Ages to modern and contemporary art, making it one of the few museums that offer a tour through eight centuries of art history.

The collection of the Hamburger Kunsthalle

More than 700 works are permanently on display. The main focus is on North German medieval painting, 17th-century Dutch painting, 19th-century German painting with the extensive groups of works by Caspar David Friedrich, Philipp Otto Runge, Adolph Menzel and Max Liebermann, and Classical Modernism with works by Max Beckmann, Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Edvard Munch and Paul Klee. In addition, the Kunsthalle’s Kupferstichkabinett (Museum of Prints and Drawings), with its more than 100,000 drawings and printed sheets, is one of the most important in Germany because of the consistently high quality of this collection.
