history
The museum is housed in the former Adelhausen Girls' School, which was built in 1902 in the neo-baroque style and converted from 1984 to 1985 by the Adelhausen Foundation for a new use. It shows works from classical modern art to contemporary art and regularly organizes special exhibitions.
The foundation of the collection is the classical modern with works of expressionism and the new objectivity, as well as non-representational art after 1945, represented by examples of lyrical abstraction as well as tachistic and concrete painting. Representatives include Lyonel Feininger , Otto Dix , Erich Heckel , Karl Hofer , August Macke , Rudolf Dischinger , Willi Baumeister for the period between Expressionism and New Objectivity, and Willi Baumeister, Emil Schumacher , Karl Otto Götz and Rupprecht Geiger , and Thomas for the post-war abstraction P. Kausel . A separate room is dedicated to the Freiburg-born artist Julius Bissier .
In 2011 the museum had 25,015 visitors, in 2012 there were 37,189. In June 2012 Christine Litz took over the management of the museum from Jochen Ludwig.
The museum is supported by the Förderverein Museum für Neue Kunst Freiburg eV
