Leipzig Museum of Fine Arts

Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig A beautiful and modern museum with an impressive collection. The architecture is stunning, filled with light and open spaces that make the visit even more enjoyable. The exhibitions are well-curated, combining classical and contemporary art in a thoughtful way. A peaceful place to explore and appreciate art in the heart of Leipzig. Highly recommended!

Nice building and exposition. Especially I liked its inclusivity. There were several paintings that had their versions of the painting designed to help people who are blind or have low vision understand theirs composition.

I visited the art museum on a Sunday afternoon, and it was a wonderful experience. I was able to enjoy artworks from various periods in a clean and comfortable environment, all for free. The space was filled with natural light, creating a bright and serene atmosphere that made viewing the artworks even more relaxing and cozy. Additionally, the restrooms were also available for free and were among the cleanest public restrooms I’ve experienced in Germany. From the exhibition areas to the less visible corners, I could tell that great care and attention are given to maintaining the environment. Overall, I was very satisfied with my visit and would love to come back again.

It was incredible, I spent the entire afternoon there, and the lady who was giving a tour, she was lovely and passionate and it was a beautiful experience.

Superb collection of paintings and sculptures in a beautiful and stylish building of concrete, glass and wood. The people working there are the most helpful and friendly I have ever seen in any museum!

Amazing and definitely worth visiting! The free exhibition features works from various artists, making it a must-see. However, I strongly recommend booking tickets in advance for other parts. Unfortunately, I missed the chance to visit the Rembrandt exhibition as it was sold out. I’ll definitely return to explore the rest next time!

Very tasteful museum, the exhibitions are super cool. Highly recommend

Really enjoyed the special exhibit (carpets) and the museum as a whole! Great architecture and lots to see. Plus, they give you a chip for the lockers!

We visited this museum on October 5 and enjoyed it. Although I'm not a fan of modern art (whereas my husband is), there was a good variety and the (spacious) building has a very attractive interior. Also, all of the guards were really friendly.

In late November,I visited this fine art museum with very unique modernistic architecture.I thoroughly enjoyed its fine collection of Old Master paintings.I especially enjoyed its fine Renaissance Period paintings by Master Francke("Man of Sorrows"),Rogier Vander Weyden("Visitation"),Cima da Conegliano,Marrioto di Nardo("Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence"),Lucas Cranach the Elder("Christ and The Good Samaritan at Well"),Hans Schaufelein("Flagellation"),Jean Bellegambe("Tripych"),and Georg Lemberger,among others.I savored their fine Baroque Period oil paintings.I especially enjoyed their fine paintings by Diego Polo("Saint Jerome"),Jacopo Tintoretto("Resurrection of Lazarus").Frans Hals("Mulatto"),Emanuel de Witte,Hendrick Van Vliet,Salomon Van Ruisdael,Pieter de Hooch,El Greco("Annunciation") Anton Graff,,and Pieter Pietersz,among others. I appreciated their fine collection of 19th and early 20th paintings by French painters ,especially enjoying fine paintings by Charles Daubigny,Gustave Courbet,Camille Corot,Claude Monet("Boats on Beach"),Gustave Loiseau,and Stanislaus Lepine,among others. I also liked their fine array of paintings and sculpture by native son,Max Klinger("Beethoven").There were fine early 20th paintings by Franz Von Stuck("Crucifixion"),Giovanni Segantini,and Hans Thoma worthy of attention.There was a tip top creation by Edith Karlsen from the present day which fascinated me("Dragon") The works of Art from the German Romantic,Realist(Leibl,Marees),and Impressionistic(Liebermann)were not on display,because of renovation when I visited.Currently,there is labelling of this art museum's works in English as well as German at the Bildenden Kunste in the heart of robust Leipzig.

The design of the building alone was impressive, but the collection was just as appealing to me. I've been to larger museums, but this museum is by no means small. On the basement level they hold special exhibitions. I saw a collection of pop art including a number of pieces I felt strongly attracted to, particularly Mel Ramos's 'Del Monte' (1972). Student price available (7€).
