Museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach was designed by the Austrian architect Hans Hollein for the city, and the text calls it a highpoint of postmodern design. The article gives no construction dates, materials or dimensions. It gives 1982 as the year the museum moved to its Abteistraße site.
The building houses a collection of modern and contemporary art, including works by Duchamp, Warhol, Klein and Calder. It also has a library, classrooms for education and a cafeteria, which is temporarily closed.
The museum was previously in rooms at the city hall from 1901 to 1904, then a former Protestant school, Karl-Brandts-Haus and Oskar-Kühlen-Haus. Under director Johannes Cladders, from 1967 to 1985, it became known for experimental and avant-garde exhibitions. Susanne Titz has directed it since 2004. The article gives no hours or fees.
