Studying the Master of the Chapelle Medici Triptych's"Painted Cross with Christ,the Virgin,Saint John the Evangelist,and the Pelican"produced in the 14th Century was an auspicious start to my study of Italian Art.Other 14th Century paintings that I especially appreciated were Master of the Augustus Vision's"Emperor Augustus and the Tiburtine Prophesy Sibyl",Spinello Aretino's"Enthroned Madonna",Bernardo Daddi's"Fragment from Crucifixion Group",and Niccolo Da Segna's"Saints Catherine,Margaret,and Mary Magdalene" From the 15th Century,I especially relished Lorenzo Monaco's"Madonna and Christ Child",Fra Angelico's"Miraculous Feeding of the Dominicans",Marrioto di Nardo's"Arcita and Palomine Catch Sight of Emilia",and Giovanni Dei Paolo's"Saint Christopher" 16th Century Italian favorites included Vittore Carpaccio's"Martyrdom of Saint Stephan",Giovanni Di Giglio's"Crucifixion"(splendid Mannerism),and Jacopo Tintoretto's"Portrait of A Man" I saw fine exemplars of 17th Century Italian Mannerism by Francesco Furini("Penitent Mary Magdalene",Giovanni Bilivert's"Apollo and Daphne",and Pietro Della Vecchia's"Tribute Money". As for the 18th Century Italian Paintings,I especially liked Guisseppe Gambarini's"Egg Collecting Monks",Giovanni Batista Tiepolo's"Rest on the Flight Into Egypt",Gaspard Traversi's"Operation",and Giovanni Pannini's"Roma Antica",a splendid very punctilious painting. Finally my study of Italian Art at the Staatsgallerie culminated with three delightful paintings by Amadeo Modigliani("Reclining Nude")For those of us with a limited knowledge of German,there is labelling of the works of Art in English as well as German..Indeed,the Staatsgallerie is a very special art museum.

First of all, we had the 9-Euro bust ticket which got us both in for 10 Euro total. Leave your backpack and water bottle in a locker and go on your way. We were greeted by a very pleasant docent who helped us navigate the Old vs. New art in the museum. Every room has signs in German and English which I greatly appreciated. We quickly walked through the old stuff on a floor just to work ourselves over the Modern art collection. One aspect of the older work that I appreciated was seeing the artwork of local Stuttgart residents-- these are artists that never made it to my art history classes. I will go back the next time I am in Stuttgart to see the OLD stuff, hoping there is a Durer in there somewhere. The art here was by artists I was familiar with but all of the works were new to me. I was in art heaven. Modigliani, Mondrian, Franz Marc, George Grosz, Kurt Schwitters, Otto Dix, Joseph Beuys. There were just so many lovely surprises here. Don't forget to visit the small but mighty gift shop on the way out. They have a delightful selection of art-themed gifts here sure to please. Thank you, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, I will be back.

It is a family private collection and consists of artists mainly American with a collection of modern art, pop art and appropriated art. They have some nice pieces of work from Andy Warhol and others. We had a tour guide who was pretty useless and was not able to explain a lot about the art or the artist. Her English was also weak which made the communication harder. I would visit this gallery if this type of art is your thing. It's one of only four private family collections in Ulm that you can visit without prior appointment and it is attached to the city museum so you can see both on the same day.

I would ask someone in the museum where the children's museum was (I showed them the words on my phone since I don't speak German) and they would ultimately point me to another end of the museum. So I'd go from one person to another to another, and ultimately ended up in circles. At one point, a staffer said, "This is a MUSEUM. We don't have kids stuff." I left frustrated and ultimately perplexed about the existence of this mysterious children's museum that was depicted on the maps and museum signs.

Inside a a beautiful courtyard that's brilliantly designed and filled with statues and greenery, you're treated to a peaceful and royal aesthetic before you even walk inside. Like most museums, you'll be able to take a self guided tour, so if you don't know anything about art, this will guide you. Everyone is sure to find something they like since the small museum is filled with a diversity of time periods and styles. The atmosphere here is so casual and simple that it makes the perfect break from exploring the city. (Or a great cover from the rain like I had to use).

The museum houses an array of artifacts and replicas of torture decides and items used as punishment during medieval times. These items range from humiliating masks to torture chairs and finger presses, then up to a Iron Madden. There is also a lot to read and see on the justice system and rules that dictated crimes and punishments. All of it was very fascinating and there was a lot to learn. Some of our favorites were all the masks used to draw attention and humiliate an offended, such as one that whistled every time the wearer breathed, so everyone knew where they were. The plaques where in German with most having English translations below. Oh, and turns out you can bring your dog in as we found out with others walking around. They also have a great cafe after you are done in another building. This is a great stop for a hot chocolate or coffee and to try a mini schneeballen. Highly recommend adding this museum to your list while in Rothenberg!

You start in the basement and go down these steep and rather dim stairs. The lighting is a bit dim down there giving an overall eerie vibe to the place. I suppose that's intentional. Displays are well laid out and most of the plaques are in a German, English and Japanese. At the far end of the basement, there are stairs to get to the 2 floors above with more displays. The lighting is a bit better up there. There's a lot to look at so if you get tired, wooden benches are placed all around to take breaks. The WCs are also upstairs. Everything is informative and interesting. There's quite a bit of duplication. People have found so many ways to hurt each other throughout history. I also found it a bit depressing in contrast to the spirit of the Christmas market. Glad I went as it's a popular museum and recommended by friends who went but I won't be coming back.

There are 45 exhibition rooms filled with paintings, sculpture, crafts, and a variety of other artifacts from Wurtzburg and the region. The museum highlights the work of Tillman Riemenschneider and others who studied under him. Objects from the pre-historic era, Franconian wine culture and collection of historical traditional clothing are displayed. I enjoyed the Middle Ages armaments collection. Tilman Riemenschneider wood carvings are a highlight. The statue of Adam and Eve (1493) is magnificent as is the Mourners Maria (1505). Gothic sculpture Johann Wolfgang von der Auwera and Gothic sculptures of the 14th century are represented. Paintings by Lucas Cranach the Elder and father and son Tiepolo. With 5400 square meters of floor space the museum is diverse enough to hold the interest of all who enter and professionally constructed enough to keep it. It is considered one of the major art collections of Bavaria.
