Angermuseum - Erfurt Art Museum
The Angermuseum is contained in an old packing and weighing house - one of the finest examples of secular baroque architecture in central Germany - built between 1705 and 1711. It is situated beside the Anger cloce to Erfurt train station and the town hall. The magnificent building served as the governor´s residence until it was superseded by the Statthalterei on Hirschgarten square.
It now houses the Angermuseum art collections, which reopened with a new look after a period of renovation between 2006 and 2009. The museum`s twin-aisled vaulted entrance hall doubles as a highly atmospheric venue that is extremely practical from a logistical point of view. Events can also incorporate the inner courtyard.
Erfurt Art Gallery - "Im Haus zum roten Ochsen"
Erfurt Art Gallery is in the heart of the old quarter, directly opposite the town hall. Its exhibitions provide the perfect backdrop for evening receptions and hot and cold standing buffets. The gallery is a prime example of how to combine the old and the new, the past and the present. The building to the front has a fine Renaissance façade (1562) overlooking Fischmarkt. The rear building houses an art gallery with frequently changing exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, including photography and new media. The Renaissance Hall in the building facing the square is ideal for smaller events (30 – 40 people). Its preserved arched windows reflect the splendour of this old patrician townhouse.
