Kunstmuseum Heidenheim
Kunstmuseum Heidenheim brings contemporary art to Heidenheim an der Brenz, in eastern Baden-Württemberg, inside a former public swimming pool. Philipp Jakob Manz designed the Art Nouveau building with Renaissance influences between 1903 and 1904. The Schäfer-Wulz Foundation funded its construction to improve hygiene in an industrial city.
The bathhouse became less necessary during the 1970s, then closed in 1987 for conversion. It reopened as a municipal museum in 1989 under Reiner René Müller, with support from Hugo Rupf. The Hugo Rupf upper floor presents twentieth-century and contemporary art across 400 square metres. In 2001, the former swimming area became the Hermann Voith Gallery, covering 330 square metres.
That gallery displays part of a Picasso poster and print collection built around Christoph Czwiklitzer’s holdings. More than 700 pieces include exhibition posters and prints by Picasso himself. Together, they trace his artistic development through different printmaking techniques. Photography from regional and international artists, temporary exhibitions, and works by Hannah Cooke broaden the programme.
