Activities for groups in the twin cities

The Archive has chosen the title ›Ulm School of Design from the Zero Hour to 1968‹ to present a permanent exhibition on the history of the famous academy.

The exhibition focusses on the secular aspects of the monastery's history. It explores the historical development of the lands owned by Wiblingen Monastery and of its monastic jurisdiction, the social status of the peasants and the place of agriculture in history.

The entrepreneur Siegfried Weishaupt and his wife Jutta have built up a top-class collection of modern and contemporary art over more than 50 years. In 2025, the group exhibition 'Anything but flat! From the
From surface to space' (until 23.03.) and two solo exhibitions, initially with 'Herbert Oehm', a ZERO artist born in Ulm (06.04. to 28.09.), and the Upper Swabian artist 'Willi Siber' (from 12.10.).

The presentation of the collection in the Museum of Bread and Art has two parts. On the one hand, there is the art collection, which with new pieces and treasures that have hardly been shown to date has taken on a central role in the museum, and on the other hand there are 19 thematic installations that tell of social, cultural and technical-historical contexts relating to agriculture, food and bread.

The Museum Ulm is expected to be closed until autumn 2027 due to renovation work. From January 2024 until autumn 2025, a two-part presentation of highlights from the collections will be on display in the neighbouring kunsthalle weishaupt. The famous Lion Man is also on display here. The approximately 40,000-year-old human-animal sculpture made of mammoth ivory is unique in the world.
