Gallery of Paintings
The Gallery of Paintings, with works of European painting from the fifteenth to the beginning of the twentieth century, is the department with the oldest roots at Museum Kunstpalast. They go back ultimately to the legendary Picture Gallery that Elector Palatine Johann Wilhelm founded at the close of the seventeenth century.
Modern Art
The art of the twentieth and twenty-first century is represented at Museum Kunstpalast with a comprehensive stock of more than 3000 works as well as numerous further permanent loans. The art of contemporaries has been a collecting subject ever since the museum’s foundation in 1913; but it is only since 1969 that a Department of Modern Art has existed in its own right.
