Located in the heart of Magdeburg, the state capital, the museum gains its unique characteristics from the combination of contemporary art with medieval architecture. The museum's rooms are located in a Romanesque monastery complex built in the 11th to 13th centuries and part of the "Romanesque Road".
Opened in 1975, the art museum now looks back on forty years of collecting and exhibiting. On a total of five floors, important positions of international art after 1960, historical sculpture from antiquity, the Middle Ages, modernism and especially the 20th century are presented, as well as international contemporary art in changing special exhibitions. The latter are dedicated to selected themes or provide insight into the work of trend-setting contemporary artists.
Works from the collection are displayed in the three vaults of the north wing. Other works have found their place in the extensive sculpture park that surrounds the building and invites visitors to linger.
