In the nine years since we visited, we have often reminisced how awesome the museum was because it is chock full of cool things. The exhibits are even better now! My favorite area is the tank garden. When we visited, there was a special exhibit about the history of the Volkswagen GTI. We learned so much about how the car was positioned in the market against hot hatches from Opel.

You could literally spend an entire weekend here because around every corner, theres more fun stuff! It's really incredible to see vehicles that are iconic and the museum takes such great care of every artifact. If I could have a gripe, it's a lack of personnel at some of the exhibits you stand in line for. The Concord for example, some parents allowed their kids to run up and down this thing. This is not only a safety issue but they could damage the historical items. When you're done, stop and get a bite as it was tasty but a bit of a wait.

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.

The museum is actually 3 old Alsatian residences in Strasbourg, filled with daily insight on the lives of people in the region in the 18th and 19th centuries. It's almost like a maze, in fact, I am not even sure if I saw everything because there was just so much. It takes you out onto the porches in the courtyard on ocassion. I would want to live here even now, if it wasn't a museum. One of the neatest parts was a room full of antique toys, from dolls sporting gigantic bows to elaborate miniature toy kitchens. You can see agricultural items, religious items, to a typical Alsatian kitchen set up for the time period, down to the pots meant for preserving butter. If you are in Strasbourg, this is a must see.
