Contact the museum
The Wilhelm-Hack-Museum is a museum of modern and contemporary art in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, a city on the Rhine border very close to Mannheim. Thanks to its collection of masterpieces by artists such as Kasimir Sewerinowitsch Malevich, Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky, Roy Lichtenstein, and Andy Warhol, the Wilhelm Hack Museum is now the most important museum of modern and contemporary art in Rhineland-Palatinate. The visual landmark of the museum is its ceramic facade, which the Catalan artist Joan Miró designed in 1980 on the southeast side of the building. 55 meters wide and 10 meters high, it consists of 7200 colored tiles, making it one of the largest works created by Miró. The impulse for the establishment of the museum was the generous donation of the businessman Wilhelm Hack, who bequeathed his art collection to the city of Ludwigshafen in 1971. The museum also houses ancient artifacts, such as the Gondorf find, a funerary artifact from the Migration Period with Roman and Frankish grave goods, discovered shortly before the start of World War II in the community of Gondorf on the Moselle and immediately entered the collection of the museum's founder Wilhelm Hack. The artifact is not permanently exhibited in the museum but is displayed at irregular intervals. There is also a medieval collection, consisting of artworks created between 1200 and 1550. It includes works in metal, ivory, wood and stone sculptures, panels, books, and paintings on glass.
