City Museum of Stuttgart, City museum in Stuttgart-Mitte, Germany.
The City Museum of Stuttgart occupies the Wilhelm Palais, a classical palace built between 1834 and 1840 by architect Giovanni Battista Salucci. The rooms spread across multiple floors and display regional artworks along with objects related to city history and everyday life.
The palace was built as a residence for the daughters of King Wilhelm I and served this purpose until the monarchy was abolished in 1918. After that, the building was converted for administrative use before later becoming a museum dedicated to the city's history.
The collection shows how the city developed over generations and what roles craftsmanship and design played in the daily lives of residents. Visitors see objects that tell the story of how people in Stuttgart lived and worked.
The museum is located centrally in Stuttgart and is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The entire building is fully accessible for wheelchair users, allowing everyone to explore the exhibitions comfortably.
On the southern side of the building stands a large bronze statue of Wilhelm II, the last king of Württemberg, created in 1991 by sculptor Hermann-Christian Zimmerle. This 600-kilogram artwork is a rare public representation of this historical figure.
