Located directly on the historic fish market, the Kunsthalle Erfurt combines modern art with the city's living history - a piece of architecture in which the present becomes the future.
The Kunsthalle Erfurt is located in the heart of the old town, opposite the town hall, in the Renaissance-style "Haus zum Roten Ochsen", built in 1562. This patrician building with its richly decorated façade architecture hosts temporary exhibitions of contemporary art - with guests from the region, nationally and internationally. The changing presentations make the Kunsthalle a lively meeting place: photographs, installations, media and visual art come together in spacious exhibition rooms. Numerous guided tours, lectures and educational programs invite visitors to engage intensively with the works.
The combination of historic walls and modern art education is particularly appealing: architecture and concept merge to create an experience in which art is not only displayed, but can also be experienced in an urban context. A visit to the Kunsthalle Erfurt therefore means: See art, feel the space and rediscover the city.
