Kunsthaus Meyenburg, Art museum and historic site in Nordhausen, Germany.

Kunsthaus Meyenburg occupies the Villa Becker, a Jugendstil villa built in 1907/08 at Alexander-Puschkin-Straße 31, surrounded by a park. The building has a viewing tower with a view over the town as far as the Kyffhäuser, representative gables and a terrace facing the garden. Inside, the exhibition rooms are painted in strong Jugendstil colours based on historical findings, and are furnished with historic furniture from the 14th to the 19th century.

The Municipal Antiquities Museum opened in September 1876 on the initiative of Nordhausen citizens, first in a single room of the Höhere Töchterschule. It moved to the Volksschule at Taschenberg/Morgenröte in 1878, then to the Predigerstraße school (1892–1906) and the Töpfertorschule (1907–1934). The city bought Villa Becker in October 1926 and opened it in May 1927, during Nordhausen's 1000th anniversary, as a museum of period furniture. In 1934 the old museum moved to Lindenhof, and the new museum was renamed Meyenburg-Museum after reformer and former mayor Michael Meyenburg.

The house is named after the reformer Michael Meyenburg, a former mayor of Nordhausen. Its foundation, endowed by the Nordhausen-born artist Ilsetraut Glock, awards the Nordhäuser Grafikpreis every two years to artists from central Germany. The villa also houses the town's youth art school, and concerts and cultural events take place in the building and the adjoining park.

Kunsthaus Meyenburg stands at Alexander-Puschkin-Straße 31 in Nordhausen, in the villa once called Villa Becker. The building has a viewing tower with a view over the town as far as the Kyffhäuser, and a historic park adjoins it. Cultural events and concerts are held in the villa and park, so some rooms may be closed during them.

The building was bought by the city in October 1926 and opened in May 1927, for Nordhausen's 1000th anniversary, as a municipal museum of period furniture. Its tower looks out over the town as far as the Kyffhäuser hills. The Ilsetraut Glock collection, donated in 1998, includes prints by Andy Warhol and Jörg Immendorff alongside Picasso and Matisse.
