Hallen für Neue Kunst, Contemporary art museum in Schaffhausen, Switzerland
The museum occupied a converted textile factory with 5,500 square meters of exhibition space dedicated to international contemporary art collections.
Founded in 1983 by artist Urs Raussmüller, the institution transformed an industrial building into a permanent display space for significant contemporary artworks.
The museum contained major works by artists including Carl Andre, Joseph Beuys, Bruce Nauman, featuring minimal art and conceptual art movements.
The museum operated with weekend visiting hours, opening Saturdays from 15:00 to 17:00 and Sundays from 11:00 to 17:00 at Baumgartenstrasse 23.
The institution closed permanently in January 2014 following a decade-long legal dispute that depleted its operational resources.
