The Kunsthalle Mannheim is a place of aesthetic experience. Established in 1909 it has shaped the cultural life of Mannheim. When the museum was founded in 1909, the collection of the Kunsthalle Mannheim with its key works from Edouard Manet to Francis Bacon and its unique emphasis on sculpture was one of the most respected civic collections in Germany. To mark the opening of its spectacular new building, the Kunsthalle Mannheim is exhibiting new, site-specific works by international artists including William Kentridge, Dan Graham, Alicja Kwade and Anselm Kiefer. Since 2019 Johan Holten is the director of the Kunsthalle Mannheim.
