Found in 1815 by the banker and merchant
Johann Friedrich Städel, the Städel Museum is the oldest museum foundation in Germany and houses
one of the most important international art collections.
The holdings comprise 3,000 paintings, 600
sculptures, more than 100,000 drawings and prints, as well as 1600 photographs.
Since the completion of the extension for contemporary art in February 2012,
700 years of art history are now exhibited in a space covering more than 80,000
square feet. Numerous internationally renowned temporary exhibitions and a
comprehensive education programme underline the museum’s reputation. This
includes a wide range of guided tours and events, also in the multimedia
sector, audioguides, a digital pictorial adventure for children and a
multi-touchscreen in the small exhibition space overlooking the river, as well
as rooms for research, consolidation and individual creative activities.
Visitors can, therefore, experience something new every time they visit the
museum.
