A LITTLE INSIGHT
"ART INSIDE AND OUTSIDE"

Architecture and art

The complete collection comprises over 500 works of contemporary art. The "Kunstsammlung Henning J. Claassen" displays around 100 works that change every year. The collection focuses on the breadth and international diversity of contemporary paintings, graphics and sculptures. Following the closure of the gallery in the old department stores, Lüneburg architect Carl-Peter von Mansberg was commissioned to design the museum according to the collector's ideas. Completed in 2022, the new cubic building with its travertine natural stone facade offers 700 square metres of disabled-accessible exhibition space with a café in the foyer.
