Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst Leipzig
The Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst Leipzig (GfZK) is one of Germany’s most dynamic museums for contemporary art, dedicated to works created after 1945. Opened in 1998 in the historic Herfurth Villa, later expanded with striking modern extensions, the GfZK combines architectural heritage with innovative exhibition spaces. Its program embraces painting, photography, installation, video, and performance, presenting both international positions and the influential Leipzig art scene. Beyond temporary exhibitions, the museum maintains a growing collection that reflects diverse artistic voices and generations, often highlighting socially engaged and research-based projects. With its library, artist-designed hotel rooms, and a welcoming café, the GfZK fosters dialogue between art and everyday life, making it more than a traditional museum. Situated opposite Johannapark in the city’s cultural quarter, it has become a hub for experimentation and exchange, where visitors encounter thought-provoking perspectives on contemporary society. The GfZK’s commitment to accessibility and collaboration ensures its role as a vital platform for artistic innovation in Leipzig and beyond.
