About
The Kunsthalle Hamburg is an art museum in the centre of Hamburg, Germany, at Glockengießerwall 5, 20095 Hamburg. It is also known as the Hamburg Art Gallery. The museum brings together European paintings and sculptures from the medieval period through to contemporary art, which makes it a useful place to follow how European art has changed over several centuries under one roof.
What you will see
The collection is especially strong in German Romantic painting, and visitors interested in that period will find it one of the main reasons to visit. The wider holdings also let you move from older religious and devotional works to modern and present-day pieces, so a single visit can cover a broad sweep of the continent's art.
