The Stuttgart State Gallery, an important cultural center in Germany, is preparing for a comprehensive renovation. The Stirling building, which opened as a new state gallery four decades ago, will remain closed for several years from 2028. This is an important step to bring the building up to date.

The renovation work affects almost all technical systems in the building. This includes all systems for ventilation, power supply, water and sanitary installations and the roof structure. These measures were confirmed by the Ministry of Science in Stuttgart. The aim is to optimize the sustainable use of the building and to meet the requirements for modern exhibition halls.

a place of art and history

The Stirling building is considered a worldwide attraction and was both praised and critically questioned when it opened in 1984. While some described the building as "grandiose jux in reinforced concrete and travertine", it is now considered one of the most important examples of German postmodernism. Works in classical modernity and contemporary art can be found in the rooms that attract visitors from all over the world.

During the renovation work, the works of art from the collection of the 20th and 21st centuries will not be lost. The art building on the Schlossplatz will serve as an interim room in which the exhibitions are continued. This building was extensively renovated between 2021 and 2024, so it is ready to temporarily accommodate the valuable exhibits.

The need for renovations in cultural institutions is a recurring topic in Germany. In recent years, numerous projects, such as the renowned Pergamon Museum in Berlin or the Cologne stages, have caused negative headlines through cost increases and construction delays. The Stuttgart State Gallery follows this long list and illustrates the larger trend, which includes acute challenges and long -term solutions in the care of cultural heritage and architecturally important monuments

The upcoming closure of the state gallery for the renovation is an important event in the cultural landscape of Germany. It shows both the commitment to the preservation of cultural values ​​and the challenges associated with such large projects.

With these innovations, Stuttgart takes another step towards a responsible and future -oriented cultural maintenance. It will be exciting to observe how the State Gallery will present itself after completing the renovation work and what new impulses it can give the art scene.
