Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig

The Open Studio is the right place for anyone aged 12 and over who wants to draw and design or simply wants to meet other creative people. From January 9, 2025, it will be open every Thursday and can be visited free of charge and without registration on the second floor of the MdbK.

To the permanent exhibitions on the first and second floors of the MdbK - this will apply from January 1, 2024 when the new municipal fee schedule comes into force. And for children and young people up to the age of 18, admission to the special exhibitions will also remain free. So come and visit the MdbK more often in 2025! We look forward to your visit.

The art meditation programme for educational institutions and groups with information on our formats and events can be found here (only in German).

Nina Schuiki's 125 m long installation "Spring" will be presented to the public for the first time on June 12 at 5 pm in the Museum Square between MdbK and Katharinenstraße. From now on, it will be open to the public around the clock.

The MdbK [next;raum] invites you to take part in new opportunities for participation and dialogue. Together with actors from urban society, the aim is to critically scrutinise the collections, their presentation and mediation. Episode #3 is currently underway.

White markings on the entrance and stair landings, orientation aids in Braille, high-contrast labelling of the most important functions - the new guidance system of the MdbK takes the needs of people with visual impairments into account. The Sächsische Landesstelle für Museumswesen (Saxon State Office for Museums) supports and accompanies us on our way to a more inclusive museum (this measure is co-financed by tax funds on the basis of the budget passed by the Saxon State Parliament).

The digital collection of the MdbK is launched with the complete holdings from the Maximilian Speck von Sternburg Foundation. Only in German
