The Kunstvilla Nürnberg is a municipal museum in Nuremberg that deals with the presentation, communication and research of regional art. It is located in a listed neo-baroque merchant's villa in Marienvorstadt and is part of the KunstKulturQuartier .

building

The merchant's villa, designed in neo-baroque style, was built between 1893 and 1895 by the architects Heinrich Theodor Schmidt and Georg Richter . The two-storey mansard hipped roof building on a high base with sandstone cladding, risalits and balconies served the Jewish hop trader Emil Hopf, his wife Elisabeth August and their sons Alfred and Kurt from 1897 as a family residence. Before his death in 1920, Hopf sold the house to the Grünfeld couple, who used it as the headquarters of the Society for Electrometallurgy and from 1932 rented it out as a guesthouse . In 1934 the National Socialists expropriated the villa and used it, among other things, as a " Jewish house " for the Ullmann family, who were deported to a concentration camp after a failed attempt to escape and all died there. From 1935, it also housed the offices of the Nuremberg Road and River Construction Office. The actual owner, Margarete Grünfeld, was able to move to England in good time and, after it was returned in 1951, sold the building to the Nürnberger Presse publishing house in 1959 . Among other things, after renovations and renovations, he rented it as Pension Blumenhof from 1962 and used the premises for the practice of their company doctor and as a library. In 1972 it was entered in the list of monuments , which prevented a demolition planned in 1974 in favor of a new administrative headquarters of the publishing house and further renovations.

After the building had not served as a boarding house since the 1980s and was largely empty, the Nuremberg publisher Bruno Schnell donated the villa to the city of Nuremberg to re-establish a Franconian gallery , a regional art museum. From 2009 to 2014 the building was renovated for around six million euros and converted into an exhibition building.

history

Franconian Gallery

In the 1930s there was already a municipal museum for regional art with the Fränkische Galerie am Marientor in what is now the Kunsthalle , which, in addition to a permanent exhibition, also showed changing special exhibitions. It closed in 1937 and did not reopen after World War II . After the publisher Bruno Schnell donated a neo-baroque merchant's villa to the city in 2006, it was renovated from 2009 for 6.29 million euros and opened on 23 May 2014 as part of the KunstKulturQuartier under the name Kunstvilla with exhibition space for regional art.

Permanent exhibition

The total exhibition area is approximately 600 square meters. The permanent exhibition deals with regional art history from 1900 onwards and presents contemporary art. Art of the 20th and 21st centuries is shown in thematic and monographic exhibitions. The approximate inventory of 1500 objects of regional art is constantly being expanded and supplemented by loans from private owners and partner institutions depending on the exhibition.
