A citizens' museum was founded in 1902 in the Hospital zum Heiligen Geist, the largest medieval building complex of the former imperial city. In 1905–1908 the legacy of the Munich painters Anton Braith and Christian Mali brought their fully preserved 19th-century studios to Biberach. The museum was renamed Museum Biberach in 2021.
The museum's name until 2021, Braith-Mali-Museum, honoured the Munich animal painters Anton Braith and Christian Mali, who left their studio furnishings to Biberach between 1905 and 1908. Their two salons are considered the only fully preserved 19th-century artist studios. Kirchner works came through his brother Hans Walter, an heir living in Biberach.
Plan to spend two to three hours exploring all the collections at a comfortable pace. It helps to allow extra time for the larger galleries and to read the information cards next to the objects.
