Lechner Museum, Art museum in Ingolstadt, Germany
The Lechner Museum is an art museum in Ingolstadt housed in a converted factory building that displays contemporary sculptures, paintings, and steel artworks created since 1960. The museum opened in 2000 and presents these works within restored industrial spaces.
The museum was founded in 2000 and received the German Facade Award the following year for its innovative ventilation facade system. This recognition highlighted the architectural quality of the converted factory.
The exhibition displays works by steel sculptor Alf Lechner alongside pieces by international artists, reflecting his influence on the contemporary art scene. Visitors can observe how steel is treated as an artistic medium as they walk through the galleries.
The museum is open Thursday through Sunday and sits in an easily accessible converted factory site in central Ingolstadt. On-site signage and parking make it straightforward to explore the indoor galleries and surrounding areas.
The museum operates a separate sculpture park at the historic Royal Bavarian Ironworks site in Obereichstätt, where large steel sculptures by Alf Lechner are displayed in the open air. This additional location extends the collection beyond the main building and offers a different viewing experience.
