In the heart of Jena's old town, the Jena Art Collection opens its doors to modern art that challenges, touches and stimulates debate - a house where past and present enter into an artistic dialog.
The Jena Art Collection houses an extensive collection of just over 10,000 works of painting, graphic art, photography, video, sculpture and object art. The focus is on 20th and 21st century art - from classical modernism and GDR art to the international present. The museum sees itself as a place that not only shows art, but also sets art in motion: with ambitious special exhibitions, educational formats and a profile that is both regionally rooted and globally conceived. Architecture, collection and education merge here to create a lively experience for visitors of all ages.
