Museum of Fine Arts

The Museum der bildenden Künste (MdbK for short) is one of the oldest civic collections in Germany. On more than 7,000 square meters of exhibition space, numerous masterpieces from the 15th to the 21st century are presented to you here. 500 years of art history under one roof invite you to encounter Old Masters such as Frans Hals and Lucas Cranach the Younger, the Romantics Caspar David Friedrich and Andreas Achenbach, and Leipzig artists such as Max Beckmann and Max Klinger. The art of the Leipzig schools is also represented in the MdbK collection. These are well known to art lovers and collectors worldwide and bring together works by artists such as Bernhard Heisig, Wolfgang Mattheuer, Neo Rauch, Matthias Weischer and Christiane Baumgartner. The Museum der bildenden Künste also offers a wide-ranging educational program. These include, for example, the Sunday family program "EMDEBEKA," an extensive vacation program, and public tours of the museum every Wednesday and Sunday.
