Double Cheese Platter: Centenary of the Collection. Twenty Years of the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart
March 8, 2025 – October 12, 2025

In 1925, works from the City of Stuttgart art collection were shown to the public for the first time in the Villa Berg. As the Galerie der Stadt Stuttgart (Stuttgart City Gallery), the collection was on display for many years in the Kunstgebäude, before finally moving in 2005 to a new building constructed especially for it at the Schlossplatz. To mark this double anniversary, the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart is presenting an exhibition featuring solely works from its own collection—including numerous acquisitions and donations from recent years.

Structured into seven thematic rooms that bear the individual signatures of the Kunstmuseum’s curators, the exhibition highlights both the historical context of the collection and its relevance to today’s real-life issues—such as consumerism and racism. The juxtaposition of works that have not been on view for a long time, if ever, with recent donations and new acquisitions, creates a fascinating display.

Admission is free of charge for the entire duration of the exhibition.

Do not miss the artist tour with Tim Berresheim (in conversation with curator Stefanie Utrecht) on September 19, at 6 pm.
