The location, the exhibitions, the space and the staff make for wonderful experience every time. We have been regulars for more than 20 years and have never been disappointed. The late night opening works great for working people to pop in for an hour or two. Pricey, but excellent displays.

Excellent art centre, the current exhibition on Hockney is greatly curated and the audio guide is very informative. Pure pleasure! However, I gave it only 4 stars because of the manifest lack of English books in the bookshop. Surprising for an exhibition coming directly from the Tate! :(

This museum only has temporary exhibitions, located just next to the very beautiful Rathaus.

The entrance is 9 euros for an adult.

The exhibition when we visited was about 1920’s art. Very beautiful collection of several aspects such as political, cultural but also just portraits of people of the 20s.

Beautiful museum and friendly people, although the descriptions were only in German. It’s a bit disturbing me, since the exhibition was also a lot about stories what I just missed unfortunately. Luckily the visual aspect of the exhibition was still astonishing.

We were very well received by all the employees.
The exhibition was beautiful, and just the right one for a quick art escape!

Very poor English info. No personal purpose photography permission. Very impolite guards. You find that the photos are not allowed after you pay the ticket ( info is inside the exhibition room). A disappointment.
I lost 18 euros. The museum forbids the photography for personal purpose (my wife needs to take pictures at the description of the paintings in order to find out easier an faster info about the paintings - otherwise she should stay minutes in front of the painting in order to read the info) . But we found this just after we paid the tickets. When my wife tried to take a picture of a description was very abruptly an not politely asked to delete the photo. The curator showed us a little sign with a camera above the entrance at the interior. Nobody could see that sign. You have to improve the info and to think at people that want to document their visit using the modern technologies as camera instant translation, or other personal purpose photography. What can a person with vision problems could do? A handy camera could help that person. Because my wife couldn't use the camera to translate in English the description and to magnify the description she went out of the museum after 15 minutes, I had to go out too. The woman from info desk (after we waited 15 minutes in order her to finish a chat with o friend of her) agreed to refund one ticket but I lost also the two 3 euro vouchers I used, in total I lost 18 euros. Also, when I asked refund for both of us I was refused because "I should asked before if photography is permitted". In 99% of the museums the personal purpose photography is permitted. At least you could put a sign at the entrance and to train your employees fot a full refund when a client cannot see the museum for different reasons. Was a lost day also and that counts. And was also the birthday of my wife finished in tears and nerves.

Visited on it's free entry day, Oct 31st.

As expected, it was pretty packed.
I personally struggled to get a look at some pictures. The descriptions are in German and English, not bad, of you actually make it to read them fully.

Backpacks and handbags have to be carried in front of you. Coats, sweaters, scarves have to either be worn or dropped off at the cloakroom.
No photographs allowed, not even of descriptions. Just a tiny sign indicates that's forbidden, which I didn't even spot after I went to check afterwards.

Reason for giving only 2 stars: the staff is the unfriendliest I've encountered so far in a private museum. I was approached by two people of staff, one was telling me rudely, I couldn't carry my jacket, I'd have to wear it. The other one was telling me, I could not use my phone, but in a way like "I've told you a thousand times already".

I was going to buy 2 memberships as a Christmas gift.... After today I definitely won't do that.
