STADTGALERIE KIEL

The "cultural district" houses a municipal gallery of contemporary art. The architectural ensemble is questionable, but it is worth a look. The exhibitions of contemporary art with social themes are interesting and free. The temporary exhibitions focus on artists from the Baltic countries, especially artists from Kiel. The Stadtgalerie also houses a permanent exhibition devoted to the expressionist work of the painter Heinrich Ehmsen, who was born in Kiel in 1886.
