Attention

The KunstWelten are being extensively renovated and redesigned. For this reason, only the first five rooms are currently open, in which the outstanding medieval collection, the German and Italian Renaissance and Mannerist works can be admired. Unfortunately, the New Masters, which also include the extensive Impressionism collection, are currently not on display or are partly on display in changing special exhibitions.

from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance

The KunstWelten offer an impressive tour through European art history: welcomed by one of Germany's most important medieval collections with unique altarpieces and sculptures, visitors travel to the Italian Baroque era and the heyday of Dutch painting.

 

 

At the beginning of the tour through the ArtWorlds, the focus is first on the Lower Saxon area - with its important altars from the international Gothic period around 1400. Among them are the »Barfüßeraltar« from Göttingen and the famous »Goldene Tafel«, which was originally placed in the St. Michael's Church in Lüneburg.

Artists such as Lucas Cranach and Tilman Riemenschneider then show visitors the high art of the German Renaissance, followed by the great Italian masters Sandro Botticelli and Jacopo Pontormo. The newly designed rooms combine the classic architecture of the listed museum building with a modern color concept. Walls in blue, pink or aubergine and an innovative light ceiling that creates a perfect illusion of daylight give the works a whole new radiance.

With its 20.000 hand drawings and print graphics, the graphic collection in the Landesmuseum Hannover provides an excellent insight into the manifold events of European art history from the late Middle Ages to the early 20. Century.

Due to their high sensitivity to light, the works will not be exhibited permanently. If desired, visitors can have the works, which are otherwise carefully stored in cupboards, presented to them for study and enjoyment.
