Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Art museum in Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, Kassel, Germany
The Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister occupies three floors of Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, displaying German, Italian, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Flemish paintings from Gothic to Classicism periods.
The museum collection originates from Landgraf Wilhelm VIII, who acquired numerous European masterpieces during his reign from 1682 to 1760, establishing its foundation.
The gallery maintains twelve Rembrandt paintings, seven Rubens works, and eleven van Dyck pieces, representing the largest collection of Jordaens art outside Belgium.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Sunday between 10 AM and 5 PM, with extended hours until 7 PM on the first and third Friday monthly.
The museum houses the Portrait of Elsbeth Tucher by Albrecht Dürer from 1499, which later appeared on the West German 20 Marks banknote.
