Museum of Modern Art

The Museum für neue Kunst occupies a former girls' school building and displays modern and contemporary artworks across multiple exhibition spaces. The collection features works by Karl Hofer, August Macke, and Rudolf Dischinger alongside pieces by contemporary artists.

The building originally served as the Mädchen-Bürgerschule Adelhausen before being converted into a municipal museum. This transformation allowed modern artistic expression to find a home within a historical school structure.

The space dedicated to Julius Bissier traces artistic development from Expressionism through post-war abstraction. Visitors can observe how 20th-century art movements come alive through his personal body of work.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and offers wheelchair-accessible facilities along with regular guided visits. It helps to check current exhibitions beforehand, as the collections are regularly reorganized and refreshed.

The museum displays established artists alongside contemporary creators who engage with current social themes. This blend of historical and present-day perspectives allows visitors to experience different artistic approaches side by side.
