Your Bremen. Your museum. Your art:
In 2023, the Kunstverein in Bremen, the private owner of the Kunsthalle Bremen, celebrates its 200th anniversary!

Current changes in the collection:
The major anniversary exhibition "Celebration: Monet to Van Gogh" is is looming on the horizon! For this reason, some works (including Monet's Camille) are already leaving the collection presentation "Remix" and will not be on view again until 7 October 2023 in the special exhibition, together with outstanding loans from German and international museums.
Van Gogh's Poppy Field will also not be seen again until the "Celebration" exhibition, as it was exhibited in the meantime at the Met Museum in New York in the exhibition "Van Gogh's Cypresses".

Dates for guided tours, courses, children's programmes and more can be found in our calendar of events. (Since our events are mainly in German, the calendar is available on our German page only. Please choose the German language and click the "Veranstaltungen" Button or icon displayed on the top left.)
It is also possible to book online tours or group tours for adults and school classes at the Kunsthalle. Information and registration at: T +49 (0)421 - 32 908 220

Offers for refugees can be found under admission fees.

You can find information about our current exhibitions here.

New: The Art Surfer! Interactive Web Apps (in German), Masterpieces of art history to listen to and read along on your smartphone, art stories for children (in German): artsurfer.de (Please bring your own headphones for use in the Kunsthalle.)

Of course we are still opened online: The Kunsthalle Bremen put its collection online in 2013 and has presented exhibitions and a selection of masterpieces on Google Arts & Culture since 2019.
