Neues Museum Nürnberg, Contemporary art museum in Nuremberg, Germany.
The Neues Museum Nürnberg is an art museum in the old city that displays contemporary works in painting, photography, sculpture, and video. The building itself has a glass facade that brings natural light into the exhibition spaces, allowing artworks to be seen in different lighting conditions.
The museum was founded in 2000 following a design by architect Volker Staab and established as an institution for modern art in Nuremberg's historic old town. The new building combines contemporary architectural language with its surroundings in the medieval city center.
The museum presents works by artists engaging with local and global themes, allowing visitors to explore contemporary artistic positions across different media. The spaces encourage encounters with current artistic questions and the range of approaches in modern art today.
The museum welcomes visitors during morning and afternoon hours on most weekdays, providing enough time to view the exhibitions. The galleries are spread across several floors, making it easy to walk through all areas.
The building was one of the first to deliberately combine artificial and natural light to present artworks in optimal ways. Such considerations about lighting were not yet common in modern museum architecture at the time of its opening.
