The Kunstmuseum Stuttgart is an art museum on Kleiner Schlossplatz in Stuttgart, designed by the Berlin architects Hascher and Jehle. The article says it was built after 2000 and opened in 2005. It names no client or style.
The building reads as a glass cube by day. At night, the lit limestone walls inside become visible through the glass. It has 5,000 square meters (54,000 sq ft) of display space. The site once held the ruins of the Kronprinzenpalais, damaged in a 1944 air raid and demolished in 1963.
The collection traces to the former Galerie der Stadt Stuttgart and a 1924 gift from Marchese Silvio della Valle di Casanova. Highlights include Otto Dix, Willi Baumeister, Adolf Hölzel and Dieter Roth. Marion Ackermann was the first director, and Ulrike Groos took over in 2010. The article gives no hours.
