The Städel, directly situated on Mainufer, is today one of the oldest and significant museum foundations in Germany and one of the world’s most outstanding art museums.
The Städel collection presents works of art from seven centuries. Renowned paintings from the Middle Ages to the present are complemented by a collection of selected sculptures. Highlights from the collection of old masters include works by van Eyck, Botticelli, Dürer, Rembrandt and Vermeer. The Städel offers a unique overview of leading impressionists (Monet, Degas, Renoir), expressionists (Kirchner, Beckmann, Macke) through to important representatives of the modern (Picasso, Klee, Dix). Paintings by Yves Klein, Georg Baselitz and Francis Bacon confront with positions of post-war art.
The Graphic Collection presents its superb repository of graphic prints and drawings in changing exhibitions. Furthermore, international special exhibitions stamp the image of the Museum. The spectacular extension building hosts contemorary art.
The far-reaching programme with guided tours, art after work, städelclub, corporate specials and much more make the Städel a popular meeting point.
