See what has never been seen before!
There is always something new to discover at Kunstpalais. This is not only ensured by the regularly changing exhibitions (external link, opens in a new window) but also the special selection of art on display. International up-and-coming contemporary artists are presented, often for the first time in Germany or Europe and usually also for the first time in an institutional setting. This makes the Kunstpalais a place for new encounters and discoveries, for amateurs and experienced art connoisseurs alike.
