Purpose
Purpose
The museum is backed by the Federal Government and the States of Germany. The museum's director is Eva Kraus, a position she has held since 1 August 2020. Construction of the museum started in 1989 and was completed in 1992. The museum is located next to the Bonn Museum of Modern Art.
The 'Bundeskunsthalle' aims to exhibit the intellectual and cultural wealth of Germany, as well as create opportunities for cultural exchange with other countries. It also aims to be a forum for dialogue between culture and politics. From the start, the museum was conceived as a platform for temporary exhibitions and events of national and international importance and as a place which enriches German cultural life. The museum does not have its own collection. The museum's main purpose is to hold exhibitions relating to art, culture, history, science, technology and the environment. Lectures and discussions are also held on the same topics. The architectural contest for the building included providing space for sculptures. • Illustration — Interior view
