Skulpturenhalle, Contemporary art museum in Neuss, Germany
The Skulpturenhalle is an art hall in Neuss with a distinctive architectural form defined by vertical wooden slats and concrete elements. The building features a curved, shell-like roof structure that sits within an open landscape.
The building was created based on designs by artist Thomas Schütte and was completed in the early 2010s. The realization of this project marked an important point in the collaboration between visual art and architecture.
The name refers to the collection of sculptures displayed here, and visitors use the space to encounter contemporary artworks in their physical form. The rotating exhibitions show how this art venue engages with new works and artistic perspectives.
The venue is easy to explore on foot and offers different areas for viewing artworks. It is wise to allow adequate time to experience the exhibitions at your own pace and to appreciate the spatial proportions of the building.
The building is the largest structure ever realized based on this artist's models and visions, showing a rare case where a creative person also shaped the form of the exhibition space itself. The interior ceiling heights vary considerably and create different experiences as visitors move through the hall.
