Otto-Dix-Haus, Art museum and house museum at Mohrenplatz, Gera, Germany
The Otto-Dix-Haus is a small two-story residence with a mansard roof and stepped gable in a residential neighborhood. It displays artworks from the artist's collection along with loans from the Otto Dix Foundation arranged throughout its exhibition spaces.
The building underwent major renovation and reconstruction beginning in 1988, leading to its opening as a museum in 1991. This opening coincided with the centennial of the artist's birth.
The house is named after painter Otto Dix, who lived and worked here with his family for many years. The rooms show how an artist's household looked and functioned around 1900, with furnishings and objects from that era.
The museum is easily reached on foot in a quiet residential area of Gera. It is helpful to contact ahead if you are visiting as a larger group or have specific requests about what to view.
The museum preserves around 400 drawings, paintings, and prints from the artist's personal collection. These works document his artistic development across different stages of his career.
