Staatsgalerie Stuttgart

The Stuttgart State Gallery (Staatsgalerie Stuttgart) is a real treasure for art lovers. It houses an impressive collection of paintings and sculptures spanning several centuries, from the Renaissance to modern art. Particularly impressive is the collection of 20th-century works: works by Picasso, Dali, Kandinsky, as well as German expressionists. The interior of the gallery is very bright and thoughtful, and the architecture combines classical and modern elements. A special plus is the convenient location. If you are interested in art, this is definitely a place to visit.

Scoring the architecture of the building. 5 star. Love it. James Stirling is the architect. I was amazed like a kid in a playground when I was visiting this unique building.

The States Gallery is an important art museum complex along Konrad-Adenauer-Straße. During my visit, I enjoyed spending time in the original classical style (Alte) Old State Gallery, which opened in 1843 and was restored in the 1950s after severe damage from WWII bombings. This is where the historic fine art collection. You can view works of German, Dutch, Italian works dating back nearly 700 years. It is a good collection of pieces by Europen Old Masters. I also enjoyed the (Neue) New State Gallery is a Postmodern style building completed in 1984. This is where you view an impressive collection of 20th-century Modern and contemporary art collection, a nice counterpoint to the traditional fine art in the Old Galleries. We spent nearly two hours browsing the collections in both galleries, finding it a nice way to spend time art viewing while in Stuttgart.

Amazing exhibits and great lighting. The gallery staff has put together a collection representing some of the greatest artists and painters in the last 800 years. The timelines and era descriptions help prepare visitors for the “must see” works and the hidden gems. You can’t go wrong for €7 and I didn’t even get the whole experience (time crunch). I mention the lighting because a lot of art galleries I have visited around the world don’t give lighting much thought. It’s as if every painting you look at has a terrible glare and any pictures you might take look as though you’re aiming at the sun.

Had a great time. I'm not an art expert, but the presentation was nice, lots of information and large space that made it not crowded. It would be cool to refurbish toilets and such as they scream 90s. If you have lots of hours to spare, I recommend. The entry fee is reasonable

We visited here on a Wednesday, turns out that this was a free entry day. There were loads of exhibits, lots of interesting paintings including some by Pablo Picasso and also lots of sculptures. There's lots of really old historic paintings here too some dating back well before the 1700s. The gallery itself took us about 2 hours to walk around and we really enjoyed it a great way to escape the rain, but we actually really enjoyed the artwork.

It is worth all of the time to go there! I think if you are a real lover of the art, you need at least 2-3 hours to properly go through each painting and other exposition. Make sure to take an informational paper with the scheme of the museum, otherwise, you will easily get lost. But even if you do, all of the kind personnel of the gallery would kindly suggest you where to go and how. People speak German and English, so don’t worry about the language barrier. Also explanations in each room are in both languages, which is very thoughtful. Overall, a good place for adults and kids, can only recommend :)

I really enjoyed my time here, especially a video featuring a group of people in a dance battle set to classical music. Info panels have an english translation. Free access with StuttCard.

This is a world-class art museum in the heart of Stuttgart. I had a religious experience walking around and absorbing the art. First of all, we had the 9-Euro bust ticket which got us both in for 10 Euro total. Leave your backpack and water bottle in a locker and go on your way. We were greeted by a very pleasant docent who helped us navigate the Old vs. New art in the museum. Every room has signs in German and English which I greatly appreciated. We quickly walked through the old stuff on a floor just to work ourselves over the Modern art collection. One aspect of the older work that I appreciated was seeing the artwork of local Stuttgart residents-- these are artists that never made it to my art history classes. I will go back the next time I am in Stuttgart to see the OLD stuff, hoping there is a Durer in there somewhere. The art here was by artists I was familiar with but all of the works were new to me. I was in art heaven. Modigliani, Mondrian, Franz Marc, George Grosz, Kurt Schwitters, Otto Dix, Joseph Beuys. There were just so many lovely surprises here. Don't forget to visit the small but mighty gift shop on the way out. They have a delightful selection of art-themed gifts here sure to please. Thank you, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, I will be back.

Beautiful!!! We visited the gallery on a rainy day and it was perfect!!! I didn't care so much for the Abstract and Modern Art - even though I am a big art nerd. I absolutely loved the Picasso room and the art of the 1700 and 1800 era. The paintings where breathtaking! We didn't make it through the whole gallery and i wish we would have had more time.

State Gallery is really interesting and very popular art museum in Stuttgart which houses modern art collection of 20th century (Pablo Picasso, Oskar Schlemmer, Joseph Beuys, etc). Admission price to collection on Wednesdays is free. There are also special exhibitions, guided tours and lectures and possibility to buy art books and souvenirs!

Interesting modern art museum in the heart of stuttgart. We weren't planning to visit here but happened to stumble across it and decided to check it out. It's one of the only art museums in the city from what I can tell, with the other main museum based attractions being the Mercedes Benz and Porsche. Anywho, when we entered there was nobody working the front desk and no posted signs about an entry fee, so not sure if there is usually a charge to enter or not. We sort of toured the museum "backwards" starting with the newest to the oldest. This museum was quite bizarre in a way, especially the most modern pieces from 1980 to present. Some of the works on display were so bizarre they were borderline humorous. You'd have to go see it for yourself, but it's worth checking out. At the time of our visit it was nearly empty and we rarely saw any other visitors, but there were plenty of staff roaming around each room to answer any questions. If you're in the city and have some free time, stop by for a peek!
