History and Description
Kunsthalle was founded in Nuremberg in 1967 as a gallery specializing in international contemporary art: zaya is both an exhibition space and a discussion forum, and an intermediary institution in the field of art. The city collection of contemporary art received in it its first permanent exhibition space - in 1997 it was transferred to the New Museum (NMN). Today the hall hosts temporary exhibitions of contemporary authors, dating from the sixties of the XX century. Kunsthalle is funded by the non-profit foundation Contemporaries e. V. "
The museum building was built as an art museum - on the initiative of the former mayor of the city, Georg von Schuh (Johann Georg Schuh, 1846-1918), who managed to attract private investors, Oscar von Petri (1860-1944) and his wife Elizabeth to participate in the project. Elizabeth von Petri was the author of the idea of creating a special fund to finance the activities of the new exhibition hall. The architect Otto Seegy (Otto Seegy, 1859-1939) developed the design of the museum building, which was built in 1912 as the "Kunstausstellungshalle am Marientor"; the grand opening took place on October 12, 1913. It was assumed that the new exhibition space will complement and expand the area of the neighboring Künstlerhaus Nürnberg hall. The first exhibition was dedicated to the work of local artists.
In the thirties, the building was renamed the Franconian Gallery (Fränkischen Galerie am Marientor) and was used for temporary exhibitions of regional art. In 1937, it was closed and did not open after the Second World War; Today, her heir is Kunstville , which opened in 2014.
