Museum of Fine Arts
The Museum of Fine Arts (MdbK for short) is one of the oldest public collections in Germany. Numerous masterpieces from the 15th to 21st centuries are presented on over 7,000 square meters of exhibition space.
500 years of art history under one roof invite you to encounter Old Masters such as Frans Hals and Lucas Cranach the Younger, the Romantics Caspar David Friedrich and Andreas Achenbach and Leipzig artists such as Max Beckmann and Max Klinger. The art of the Leipzig schools is also represented in the MdbK collection. These are well known to art lovers and collectors worldwide and include works by artists such as Bernhard Heisig, Wolfgang Mattheuer, Neo Rauch, Matthias Weischer and Christiane Baumgartner.
The Museum of Fine Arts also offers a wide-ranging educational program, including, for example, the "emdebeka" workshops with changing questions and artistic practice for children aged 4 and 7, workshops during the summer, autumn and winter vacations and public tours of the museum. The MdbK is also home to the Leipzig children's and youth exhibition.
