Top 10 Contemporary Art Galleries — theculturetrip.com

Also opened in 1978, the Künstlerhaus was launched as a project by Stuttgart-based artists and supported by the local government as well as private donors. It is the city’s state-backed hub for contemporary art and the largest and most internationally recognisable of the galleries on our list. Some of its artistic directors over the years have included Nicolaus Schafhausen, curator of the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale and Ute Meta Bauer, Head of the Visual Arts Program in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The gallery occupies the premises of a former luggage factory, in keeping with the city’s industrial feel; in addition to its cutting-edge exhibitions, the space is also a library of books acquired or donated by the artistic directors, documenting the institution’s history and the development of late 20th century art. A definite must-visit for the culturally inclined.
