Museum Ulm

The Museum Ulm has been under renovation since 17 April 2023 and is temporarily closed for this reason.

Until the end of the construction work, the Museum Ulm will host various exhibitions and events in the neighbouring kunsthalle weishaupt. The HfG archive on the Hochstrasse will remain open as normal.

***************************

Visiting this museum of arts, archaeology and history is travelling through time in a most fascinating way: The ›Lion Man‹ carved from mammoth ivory is more than 40,000 years old, which makes it the world's earliest figurative human/animal shaped sculpture.

Late Gothic sculptures and paintings give us an idea of the era in which Ulm Minster was built. The objects of the museum include sculptures by Joerg Syrlin the Elder and Michel Erhart as well as paintings by Bartholomew Zeitblom and Martin Schaffner.

The foundation ›Collection Kurt Fried‹ displays a representative cross-section of international arts between the 1950s and 1970s.

The Archive of the Ulm School of Design at Hochsträß, which also belongs to the Museum Ulm, documents the life and work of the famous academy between 1953 and 1968.
