Moritzburg Art Museum, Art museum in the late mediaeval bishop's residence, Halle (Saale), Germany.
The Moritzburg Art Museum is an art museum housed in a late medieval bishop's residence in Halle an der Saale. The building contains around 250,000 works including paintings, graphics, and decorative arts displayed across several restored spaces within the castle complex.
The collection was founded in 1885 as a museum of arts and crafts and moved to Moritzburg Castle in 1904, where it became a center for modern art. After this relocation, the institution focused on building a collection spanning different periods of art history.
The museum displays works from Classical Modernism artists alongside pieces from different periods, showing how artistic techniques and expression have changed through time. These works reveal the creative conversations between different eras of art.
The museum is open Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday through Sunday, with free admission for children under 18 and students. Wearing comfortable shoes is advisable since exhibition spaces are spread across multiple floors and different areas of the castle complex.
The building complex blends medieval architecture with modern additions and uses multiple historic rooms that were specially adapted for display. This unusual combination of older structure and contemporary use shapes the museum's distinctive character.
