Description
(Local Name: Staatsgalerie) The State Gallery is one of the finest art collections in the Federal Republic. The section devoted to 20th C. paintings enjoys an international reputation. The original building, or Old Gallery, was designed by Gottlob Georg Barth in Neo-classical U-Bahnstyle and built in 1838-42; originally consisting of three wings set round a forecourt, it was enlarged in 1881-88 by the addition of two wings at the back. In the forecourt is an equestrian statue of King Wilhelm 1.

Adjoining the Old Gallery to the south is James Stirling's New Gallery, faced with travertine (1977-83), a masterpiece of contemporary architecture. The central feature of the new building is a rotunda, which is enclosed by three wings with roofs designed to admit the maximum of light.

Only a selection of outstanding works from this rich collection can be mentioned.

Beyond the Old Building, to the right, can be seen the entrance to the 824m/900yd long Wagenburg Tunnel, which carries traffic to the eastern districts of the town.
