Mannheim entdecken

The Reiss-Engelhorn Museums are a group of museum buildings in central Mannheim holding about 1.2 million objects across archaeology, world cultures, art history and photography. The Museum Weltkulturen building covers the Metal Ages through the Roman and medieval periods and Egyptian art; a separate Schillerhaus is dedicated to the playwright Friedrich Schiller.

Kunsthalle Mannheim is a museum of modern and contemporary art, built in 1907 to a design by Hermann Billing and opened as a permanent municipal gallery in 1909. Its collection of around 1,500 works spans French Modernism, with paintings by Manet and Cezanne, to contemporary artists including Anselm Kiefer, shown partly in a 2018 glass-roofed extension.

The Technoseum is a technology museum in Mannheim built between 1982 and 1990 to the design of architect Ingeborg Kühler, tracing industrialisation in south-west Germany from its beginnings to the present. Exhibits include historic machinery, a working steam train, a seasonal narrow-gauge railway, and a full-scale replica of the 1929 Opel RAK.1 rocket-plane.
