Kunsthalle Darmstadt, Arts center in Darmstadt, Germany.

Kunsthalle Darmstadt is an art center in Darmstadt displaying contemporary works across several exhibition rooms. The building features flexible spatial design that allows for varied arrangements of artwork throughout the galleries.

The Kunstverein für das Großherzogtum Hessen, founded in 1837, had its first gallery built in 1889 at the Rheintor to a neo-Renaissance design by Hermann Müller, with interiors reworked by Friedrich Pützer in 1909. That building was largely destroyed in a 1944 air raid. After a 1955 competition won by Theo Pabst, the present Kunsthalle opened in 1957 with two exhibition rooms of 65 and 200 m²; Hans-Henning Heinz added a northern extension in 1986/87.

The Kunstverein, founded in 1837, used members' fees to buy art and at its peak counted up to 3,000 members; its funds were lost in the Weimar hyperinflation by 1929. A new association, the Neue Hessische Kunstverein, formed in 1945 and became the Darmstädter Kunstverein, which opened the 1957 hall with "Kunst aus Darmstädter Privatbesitz" and now has around 800 members focused on contemporary art.

The Kunsthalle stands on the Rheinstraße at the Steubenplatz, on the site of the northern guardhouse of the old Rheintor. The rebuilt portico of that gate now forms a courtyard in front of the building, used as a sculpture garden. The entrance is on the ground floor, where the exhibition rooms were consolidated during the 1987 extension.

The portico of the northern Rheintor, once the entrance to the 1889 building, was dismantled and stored in the 1960s, then rebuilt in front of the new Kunsthalle on the Rheinstraße. With the adjoining walls of the forecourt it now encloses a courtyard used as a sculpture garden.
