"In the early 1900s, the Spinnerei was Europe’s largest cotton-spinning mill. Today, the 750,000-square-foot space is the epicenter of Leipzig’s artistic renaissance, housing 14 galleries, more than 100 artists’ studios (including that of famed German artist Neo Rauch), and a host of rotating exhibitions. It’s all contemporary art, all the time here, from paintings and photography to sculpture to video, with a range of German and international artists featured. The Leipzig-based Galerie EIGEN + ART, which also has an outpost in Berlin, is one of the more well-known galleries here, and always worth a look." - Liz Humphreys
