history

After the Schwartzsche Villa was threatened with demolition in the 1970s, it was managed on the basis of private initiatives and converted into a cultural center. There are two exhibition spaces in this, one of them in the gallery.

program

The focus of the exhibitions is on contemporary artists and unpublished works. Artists like Qin Yufen or Nasan Tur develop exhibitions especially for the rooms of the Schwartz Villa and also set political accents. The program is supplemented by regional historical exhibitions. In 2013 an exhibition on “ Hitler's desk criminals” was shown, and in 2014 part of the exhibition trilogy about Ceija Stojka , Even Death Is Afraid of Auschwitz , was shown in the Schwartz villa.
