Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig - Digital Art Center
The Kunstkraftwerk is a venue for multimedia exhibitions, spectacular 360° video shows and a unique cultural hotspot in the west of Leipzig.
Immersive, digital, interactive, multimedia! Since 2016, the former heating plant in Leipzig has been transformed into a center for digital and contemporary art. Spectacular 360° immersive audiovisual projections, art exhibitions, live music events and digital and multimedia shows allow visitors to immerse themselves in art and break down all boundaries between the artworks and those who view them.
The digital and contemporary exhibitions are created in collaboration with international artists. They are inspired by the great artists of the past, the masterpieces of the contemporary scene and the latest developments in new media art.
From 14.02.2026, visitors will embark on an immersive journey through Mexico in the 1920s to 1940s as part of the new exhibition "Viva Frida Kahlo" and thus through the life, art and emotions of the world-famous artist.
The recommended length of stay at Kunstkraftwerk is 1.5 to 2 hours.
