Museum für Neue Kunst Karlsruhe

The ZKM Museum for New Art is a contemporary art institution in Karlsruhe that features modern art, installations, and media-based works across approximately 7,000 square meters of exhibition space. The building is fully accessible and houses both rotating and permanent exhibitions.

The museum was founded in 1915 and initially operated as an independent institution. It merged with the Zentrum für Kunst und Medien in 2004, marking a major shift in its artistic direction.

The collection features artists from Europe, America, Asia, and the Arab world, presenting their work through paintings, sculptures, and digital installations. Visitors experience a global perspective on contemporary artistic expression.

The museum is open Wednesday through Friday from 10:00 to 18:00 and weekends from 11:00 to 18:00, with full wheelchair accessibility throughout. Plan to spend at least two hours exploring the various exhibition areas at a comfortable pace.

The museum maintains partnerships with private collections such as Falckenberg Hamburg and Ingvild Goetz Munich, which enable exceptional exhibitions throughout the year. These collaborations allow visitors to see artworks that would otherwise be difficult to access.
