state art gallery (staatliche kunsthalle)

This Museum has impressive facilities. The 19th century era rooms on the first floor are stately and richly decorated. The upper story Gallery's are spacious, well laid out, and well lit. Nonetheless, the collection is, in my view, dreadful. It consists mostly of schmaltzy or saccharine 19th-century French and German painting. The collection of earlier works mostly consists of the lesser products of lesser artists. You can tell that there is a reason why most of his art is not in Berlin or Frankfurt. This Museum compliments it's dreadful collection with an arrogant and unhelpful staff. The best thing that can be said for it is that it has a very nice café.

I found this Art museum to be enjoyable and would recommend it on a rainy day in Karlsruhe. They have art paintings from many different periods through the Impressionist/Expressionist period to modern abstract with several well known Artists. There are 2 parts of the museum. First part is in the main Kunsthalle building and then just down the street is the Palace Orangerie which holds several Expressionist and Modern abstract paintings. You can purchase admission ticket at either location which is valid for both museum locations. The museum is located next to the Palace and Gardens, so you can have a nice walk around the palace grounds afterwards. I visited this Art museum along with the art museum in Mannheim for a day trip.

I'm not so into art, but this is a very big museum, so anyone who's into, will defiantly find it interesting. It was a bit hard to understand, since there are no explanations in English.

I was lucky because of the great Corot exhibition (in German and French languages, no English!). However, I was very disappointed because many rooms where closed and I expected to see the Durer and Cranach art works. No English audio guide. People do not speak English. Fascinating cafeteria inside.

The museum was a bit chaotic as they were getting ready for a Corot exhibition and rooms were closed. Also ther is no English audioguide. However there are some great pictures here and for me the Thoma Kappelle was a fantastic find.

Old museum (opened 1846), located near the Karlsruhe castle (where the Badisches Landesmuseum is) and the Botanical Garden in a historical building. "Relatively" small museum with a beautiful collection of German, French and Dutch paintings (ca. 800) from the 14th to the 19th C. Also nice temporary exhibitions. Museum cafe.I don't know what it is with these German museums, but many have only German explanation. I have no problems reading German, but I heard several people complaining about the lack of translations. No English, no French, even though Karlsruhe is close to the French border. Brochures with short translations can be bought, but you realize only that you need them when you already climbed all the stairs to arrive in the first hall (older people will not go down again).Nevertheless, worth a visit!

Unlike an art museum in a larger city, you will not find big blockbuster exhibitions in The Kunsthalle, but it is for precisely this reason it is worth a visit. It is rarely crowded and one can better appreciate the collection. The building itself is worth seeing, with a lovely grand staircase. I have been to several special exhibits here and I was impressed at the presentation. The permanent collection has some interesting German works one doesn't see often. The print/engraving room is intriguing.

Галерея располагает одной из самых сильных в Германии коллекций искусства. В настоящий момент особенно рекомендуюк посещению привозную выставку французкого художника Дега. В галерее есть аудиогиды на немецком и французском языках. После выставки можно попить вкусный кофе в музейном кафе. Помимо стоимости билета будьте готовы заплатить 1 евро за услуги гардероба.

Практически единственное место в Карлсруэ, обязательное к посещению. Одна половина - хорошая подборка работ в стиле российских областных музеев, т.е. всех всемирно известных художников по чуть-чуть. Местный Дюрер, правда, не впечатлил (1 маленькая картина). Вторая половина - немецкие художники 19-20 века, для меня почти все неизвестные. Посмотреть можно, любопытно, но не более того. Будете проездом - зайдите сюда, посмотрите на соседний замок (шлосс), пирамиду, и можно ехать дальше. Стоит разумно. Иногда на улицах раздают и бесплатные билеты на неходовое время.

Esta é a galeria principal da cidade e reúne obras de mestres antigos. O mais impressionante é o quadro "Crucifixion", do pintor Grunewald, que mostra a intensidade da dor e do horror...arrepiante!

Mais uma atração que encontrei fechada. Quase tudo fecha às 18h no final de semana, então só pude admirar a parte de fora. Parece ser muito completa a coleção, e o prédio é muito bonito por fora.

Situé entre le jardin botanique et le Château de Karlsruhe, le musée des Beaux arts constitue une halte culturelle des plus intéressantes avec au programme peinture Flamande, Néerlandaise (superbe autoportrait de Rembrandt) et Française (Pissarro, Millet..).Sachez en outre que cette institution muséale programme jusqu'au 01/02/2015 une très belle exposition sur Degas ... N'attendez plus sachant que Karlsruhe n'est qu'à 3 heures de Paris avec le TGV Est !

het hoofdgebouw is voor de helft gesloten tussen Bauen und Zeigen en Degas. De Duitse romantische mythologie is een hol vat op het gelijkvloers. De Franse 18 en 19 de eeuw is goed vertegenwoordigd. Cranach is erg mooi. De portretten uit de renaissance de moeite. De vele vormen van martelen, pijn en lijden op de oude Duitse religieuze schilderkunst is ietwat misselijk makend. De Orangerie heeft een magnifieke collectie Duitse XXste eeuwse werken, topstukken alom.

Une très belle et immense collection. Mais il faut connaître pour apprécier. On regrette presque qu'il n'y est pas plus de continuité apparente entre ce qu'on nous propose... Par ailleurs, il y'a qqn dans chaque salle pour vous épier (plus ou moins discrètement). C'est assez énervant ! Lle prix plein tarif est un peu cher

Wir haben sehr spontan beschlossen, in die Kunsthalle zu gehen und fanden die Sammlung interessant, allerdings hat uns der Überblick gefehlt. Wir sind einfach davon ausgegangen, dass irgendwo schon ein Plan zur Orientierung hängt ... aber so war es nicht.Erst daheim haben wir festgestellt, dass es noch zwei Gebäude gibt ... das eine derzeit wohl gerade geschlossen. Darauf sollte man einfach hinweisen.
