Kunsthalle

Swabian Alps Region


The streamlined Kunsthalle stages first-rate exhibitions of mostly contemporary art; in recent times, everything from Post-Minimalist art to hyperrealistic sculpture has been thrown into the spotlight. Buses 5, 13 and 17 run from central Tübingen to the Kunsthalle stop.
