Hamburger Kunsthalle

A very big museum with a wide range of art (renaissance, impression, contemporary). I feel as though it's quite expensive for what it is though. The contemporary exhibition discussed social change but the museum itself is old fashioned in its ways and its pricing. I enjoyed the exhibition on the behind-the-scenes of the museum. It's worth a visit if you're not short on money, but not worth the spend if you're saving!

Great art museum. With both historical and contemporary pieces. If you go to a special exhibit like the David Friedrich Caspar exhibition you should purchase tickets in advance, but if you go to the permanent exhibition you'll probably be fine just buying at the registers.

Very nice and well-arranged exposition, tickets bought online in advance, but no rush at the spot. Found new German names and a number of interesting pieces, although am not an expert.

Very interesting and huge art museum with beautiful historic interior design. Offering nice permanent exhibitions as well as very cool seasonal setups. Recommend booking tickets in advance, especially for seasonal special shows that are only for a short period of time.

I think you can spend a full day here and you won't be bored. The atmosphere and art collection are breathtaking. Here, you can find the biggest collection of German painters and the second largest of Dutch painters. I really loved the art of Casper Friedrich,Monet, and Edvard Munch

EXCELLENT museum (both the Kunsthalle and across the way, the Galerie der Gegenwart showing only contemporary art). I also found the wall text to be extremely informative and engaging.

One of my favorite places ever!! I came back here two days in a row and still didn’t have time to explore everything. Truly a magical place with thought-provoking art

What an amazing museum! First of all, the building in itself is so gorgeous! There are many famous artists too and the selection is great. The main room you come into from the entrance is epic and so stunning. I truly wish to go back and spend more time for each Art piece. I think about 3hrs is a good time to dedicate to visiting this museum.

I was lucky to get to visit the Exhibition 'Mahjong;' in the Hamburger Kunsthalle. This was an extensive exhibition that was curated with the highest calibre. The exhaustative exhibition told truths about China from approximately 1979 to 2005 through the work of many chinese artists. On entering this exhibition the first piece reduced me to tears and of course frightened my pal who ran off to hide in the toilets. The piece featured a giant sized wallet that framed video footage of the production of wallets in sweatshops, slaughter houses and high street designer stores. The video footage was also complimented by very sad violin music. The rest of the exhibition was a weeks worth of viewing, and expressive pieces that told us truths about China. We were educated with hard hitting expressive modern peices. The final pieces I viewed were some Mao propoganda graphics. I think this exhibition at the Hamburger Kunsthalle was one of the most outstanding of exhibitions I ever visited and i would of course always be interested to know what goes on in the Kunsthalle.

Monet, Renoir, Degas, Nardin, Valjoux, Rado, and Piaget! And if you were paying attention, you would have noticed that those last four are not French impressionists, they're Swiss watchmakers. Anyway, Kunsthalle is about as much fun as watching paint dry, as visiting this place basically amounts to three hours of watching dry paint. It's a very, very classic art museum. Mostly framed oil works, a little sculpture, a little modern art... not very stimulating to a layperson like me who just doesn't go for this stuff. So I'm not the best person to ask, but I think I can safely say this is a classic, non-interactive, super-quiet, admire-only, hands-off museum. Tickets are reasonably priced, they have student discounts, and all of the captions have English and German. Very Anglo/American friendly.

Nice museum with art from the 16th century and onwards. Logically displayed so it was easy to follow how art forms has developed through different eras. Nice to look at paintings from Degas, Monet, Renoir, Picasso to modern artists. Close to Hauptbahnhof so easy to get to.

Very fun to visit and a cool art experience, but very tiring! I love art, but without a guide or audio guide I had no natural path to follow. I ended up viewing only a portion of the art works before we all grew tired. The cafe was inexpensive and served delicious cake For future visitors who also prefer not having a guide, I recommend using a map or consulting with the staff before you embargo on the journey. Altogether the museum is breathtaking, and worth the visit.

So we wanted to check this museum out so badly because we had read so many good reviews and heard great things about their collections. And then vacation happened and we almost ran out of time to see it at all. But...we had to at least go see the special Dali exhibit that they currently have there. So glad we did! If you are a Dali fan, you will love this one. I wish I could say I saw lots more of their permanent collection but I didn't. We had to browse through in about an hour and that is nowhere near enough time to see it all. We knew we were going to miss loads so we mapped out the major pieces/exhibits that we wanted to see the most. If I make it back to Hamburg I will have to go here first thing and give it a proper tour. They have a really lovely building and have built an amazing collection.

Spell binding and stunning, Hamburg's Art Museum (Kunsthalle) has all the golden greats, plus plenty of modern allsorts. Placed between the lake, the old town and the Station, it's easy to reach and suitably priced and really is a must see during any visit to Hamburg.

The Hamburger Kunsthalle is a great art museum. It has different sections for old masters, 19th Century, modern art and contemporary art. There are amazing paintings from Casper David Friedrich, Max liebermann, Edvard Munch, Max Beckmann and a lot of other famous artists. I enjoyed the visit very much.

On an early December Sunday,I was fortunate to appreciate this art museum's splendid collection of Renaissance Period paintings by German and Netherlandish painters.German painters with fine Late Gothic and Renaissance Period paintings at this art museum included: Bertram Von Minden("Altarpiece from "Harvestehude"),Hinrik Funhof ("Virgin in Robe Decorated With Ears of Corn"),Master Francke(("Christ As Man of Sorrows"),Hans Burgmair the Elder("Agony in Garden"),Hans Schaufelein("Nativity")Barthel Beham("Vanitas"),Martin Schaffner("Epitaph of Sebastian Welling"),Lucas Cranach the Elder("Charity") and Franz Zimmerman("Lucretia"),among others.Netherlandish painters from the Renaissance Period with quality paintings included;Marcellis Coffermans,Jan Massys("Flora")Jan Provost("Last Judgement"),Jan Gossaert("Crucifixion"),and Hans Van Cleve the Third("Tower of Babel"),among others.Although German and Netherlandish Renaissance Period paintings are emphasized at this art museum,I also saw fine Renaissance Period Italian paintings by Francesco Francia("Virgin and Child Holding Globe"),Sebastiano di Bartolo Mainardi("Virgin and Child with John the Baptist"),and Paris Bordone("Fountain of Bathsheba").The Kunsthalle's collection of Italian Art is relatively small in comparison to their German,Netherlandish,Dutch,and French paintings.I also appreciated the way the works of Art were arranged,the labeling of works of Art in English for the benefit of foreign visitors,and the helpfulness of its staff.

this place deserves a lot of praise for the styles of the arts. the historical attributes of the arts are very impressive. in case you are it is your first time, it would nice to get in company with people how know the place well. this will help you to explore a lot. the only thing that could make the place better is having staffs who really know what to look for with arts. in all this is a good place to spend time with visitors.
