Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt Am Main

This post-modern building lies in the center of the old town, between the Dom and the Römer, and is renowned for its classy international art exhibitions which have been attracting visitors since 1986. The Schirn Kunsthalle does not have its own collection but holds temporary exhibitions by German and foreign artists. The top-floor gallery has been home to exhibitions such as "European Masterpieces 1910-1960" and the "Kandinsky Retrospective." The art gallery has seen impressionist, dadaist, surrealist and other works of art on its walls. The name Schirn comes from the alfresco market stalls which used to stand here in the Middle Ages. Admission varies according to exhibition. Check website for more details.
