Kunsthalle Münster

The Kunsthalle Münster has presented national and international contemporary art since its opening in 1991. The institution focusses on current trends and socially relevant themes in alternating exhibitions. A diversified programme of talks, lectures, guided tours, film screenings, symposia and performances supplements the exhibitions. The Kunsthalle thus promotes and inspires an intensive and controversial debate on contemporary art and topical issues of social interest.

As a part of the Office for Cultural Affairs, the Kunsthalle Münster is not only responsible for the programme at the Hafenweg, but also oversees the works of the city’s collection of art in the public space. Since 2023, the collection of art in public space has also regularly formed the starting point for the Kunsthalle's exhibitions in the Stadthausgalerie on the Platz des Westfälischen Friedens. Since 2018, the collection has been complemented by Gerhard Richter's installation Two Grey Double Mirrors for a Pendulum, situated in the Dominican Church.

Moreover, with Residence NRW⁺, a scholarship programme for artists and curators has become affiliated with the Kunsthalle Münster since 2020. The programme is an important enhancement in the promotion of emerging talents and the extension of funding structures in the field of young contemporary art in North Rhine-Westphalia.
