With its rich collection of masterworks dating from the fourteenth century to the present, the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart is among Germany’s most popular museums. Both its impressive museum complex and its holdings mirror the link between tradition and modernity. The Staatsgalerie Stuttgart presents its superb collection on some 9,000 square metres of exhibition space offered by the old building of 1843, the famous post-modern Stirling Building, and the Steib Halls constructed in 2002. Among the prominent holdings are the approximately 400,000 works belonging to the Department of Prints, Drawings and Photographs, Early Swabian panel painting and outstanding examples of nineteenth-century Swabian Neoclassicism. The chief emphasis of the museum collection is undoubtedly the Classical Modern period with art spanning the years from 1900 to 1980. Special highlights here are Oskar Schlemmer’s Figurines for the Triadic Ballet of the early 1920s, Henri Matisse’s famous Backs (1909-‒30), numerous works by Picasso including the sculptural group The Bathers (1956), and the Joseph Beuys room installed by the artist himself.

A large collection of paintings and sculptures - among which there are certainly several great masterpieces - even for ordinary art lovers. But not only that. The Neue Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart, by architect James Stirling, is a masterpiece of postmodern architecture all over Germany. The construction alone is worth a visit. The water feature in front of the building with its green, curved windows, the exterior and interior architecture, as well as the large, round courtyard. Centrally located and easily accessible. Definitely worth a visit - for adults! Probably less suitable for children and adolescents. There are always special exhibitions. Can be visited well in every season.

The square, in the middle of Stuttgart's center, divides Stuttgart's pedestrian zone with all its shops, restaurants and cafés. In addition to leisurely walks and shopping, a place for a short break. Beautifully laid out with the green areas, fountains, music pavilion ... the new castle and the old castle ... special events such as open-air concerts or live broadcasts take place again and again. Not to be overlooked or avoided, is in the pedestrian zone with many sights around it, or nearby - and definetly worth to visit

I can only speak as a musician, and as a person who seeks out musical instrument museums everywhere I go in Europe - this was a delightful museum! I was there practically on my own and felt free to take photos of the wonderful collection they have. If you are a pianist you might enjoy some very interesting pianos they have on display, including a Pleyel which is for two people (one person at each end!!) and some wonderfully decorated show pianos (have posted photos of my favorite, gorgeously decorated Art Nouveau one from 1900). I wonder why it was not more crowded - I encourage musicians and music lovers to visit here.

The Stuttgart opera is a beautiful place with a brilliant orchestra and award winning singers and productions. During the last years, I saw several productions such as "Don Giovanni", "Nabucco" or "La Bohème" which I really liked. The Opera House also hosts the Stuttgart Ballet, one of the world's most renowned companies founded by John Cranko. Last week I had the great pleasure to see John Cranko's choreography of "Swan Lake" and this was not only very good, it was overwhelming. As some of the reviewers already mentioned, the only drawback is, that space is a bit scarce and it can become quite hot in the upper parts of the building in summer, but the great singers, corps de ballet and the orchestra outweigh this by far.
