About

Museum Wiesbaden is the Hessian State Museum of Art and Nature and one of Germany’s most distinguished cultural institutions. Located in a grand three-winged building completed in 1920, it unites two collections under one roof: fine art and natural history. The art galleries span from Old Masters to Classical Modernism and contemporary works, with highlights including the internationally renowned collection of Alexej von Jawlensky and an outstanding ensemble of Art Nouveau design. The natural history section presents geology, zoology, and botany in engaging displays that reveal the diversity of life and Earth’s evolution. Founded on civic initiative in the early 19th century and supported by Goethe himself, the museum reflects both local heritage and global perspectives. Following extensive renovations, its 7,000 square meters of exhibition space now offer visitors a seamless journey between art and science, making Museum Wiesbaden a place of discovery, reflection, and inspiration at the heart of the city.
