The Städtische Galerie Nordhorn is an art museum of the city of Nordhorn .
history
The beginnings of the Städtische Galerie go back to 1961 , when voluntary exhibitions were organized in the concert and theater hall. The Städtische Galerie has been located in two pavilions in the old weaving mill since 1999. They were designed by the Irish artist Stephen Craig and are around 460 m² in size.
