Kunsthaus Apolda Avantgarde

The Kunsthaus Apolda Avantgarde occupies a two-storey villa built in 1872 styled as an Italian country house, featuring high ceilings and wooden staircases. The building preserves this historic architecture while serving as the setting for contemporary art exhibitions.

Founded in 1995 by the Kunstverein Apolda Avantgarde association, the gallery was recognized with the Thuringian Cultural Award in 2001. This recognition acknowledged its importance in supporting regional art and artists.

The gallery displays works by artists from the Weimar and Jena region, featuring paintings, installations, and various contemporary art forms. You see how local and visiting artists share their work and engage with each other through the exhibitions.

The space is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00. Checking ahead about current exhibitions helps you plan what to see, as shows change regularly throughout the year.

The gallery includes works by Salvador Dalí and Carl Spitzweg in its exhibition program, setting it apart from other regional institutions. This mix of established names and contemporary artists draws visitors with different interests.
