This has been in the Stutterheim Palace since 1974 , which was built from 1728 to 1730 by order and for Christian Hieronymus von Stutterheim and is located in the center of the Huguenot city. After a two-year renovation phase, the Kunstpalais was opened in 2010 with an exhibition area doubled to more than 500 m² on the ground floor and basement of the Palais Stutterheim under the founding director Claudia Emmert .

The exhibition program of the Kunstpalais, conceived by Claudia Emmert, focused on relevant positions in the international art scene, which provide a connection to the contemporary discourse within and outside of art. Conceptual references to questions of literature , philosophy and film were given special consideration. Interdisciplinary accompanying programs, among others in cooperation with the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), anchored the contents of art on a broad social level. Amely Deiss has been the new director of the Kunstpalais and the municipal collection since February 2015.

The Erlangen Municipal Collection is part of the Kunstpalais. This includes over 4500 graphics , multiples , artist books and portfolios. It reflects the main trends in international art after 1945 and sees itself as a history of ideas in art that is updated with the targeted acquisition of selected contemporary graphics and photographs .

In even years in summer i. d. As part of the Erlangen Comic Salon, special exhibitions take place in the premises of the Kunstpalais.
