Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig

In the location's words:

The Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig (MdbK) encourages people to connect - with other people, with their surroundings and with art. Its collections include photographs, paintings, graphics, installations, media works and sculptures from eight centuries, predominantly from European art history. One focus is on 20th and 21st century art from Leipzig and its location in an international context. The extensive exhibition activities include contemporary positions and old masters in equal measure. Participatory offers, events and projects invite visitors to take part. The MdbK positions itself as an inclusive, accessible and anti-discriminatory museum. It was established through the commitment of Leipzig art collectors and opened in 1858. Since 2004, the museum has been housed in an impressive new building in the city center. The MdbK is one of the most important municipal art museums in Germany.
