Kunsthalle Tübingen, Art museum in Tübingen, Germany.
Kunsthalle Tübingen is a single-storey exhibition building with a skylight, designed by architect Abbe Schmid and opened in 1971 on the northern edge of Tübingen's centre, in the Wanne district built from the 1960s onward. It has no permanent collection: it shows temporary exhibitions alternating contemporary art with classical modernism.
The museum was founded in 1971 to honor painter Georg Friedrich Zundel and was created by Paula Zundel and Margarethe Fischer-Bosch, daughters of industrialist Robert Bosch. It underwent a major change in 2003 when it became a foundation supported by private funding.
The museum displays work from artists across different countries and periods, spanning from French painters of the late 1800s to contemporary creators. Visitors experience how varied artistic approaches and styles are presented side by side in these galleries.
The Kunsthalle stands in the Wanne district on Tübingen's northern edge, in a single-storey building with skylights that light the galleries from above. It was closed for renovation and a new exhibition room until spring 2017, so check current opening before travelling. The building is entered at ground level.
The museum was founded by two women with the goal of honoring the work of a family painter, making it a deeply personal creation. This private origin continues to shape its collection and gives it a character rooted in genuine artistic passion rather than institutional convention.
