Studying the Master of the Chapelle Medici Triptych's"Painted Cross with Christ,the Virgin,Saint John the Evangelist,and the Pelican"produced in the 14th Century was an auspicious start to my study of Italian Art.Other 14th Century paintings that I especially appreciated were Master of the Augustus Vision's"Emperor Augustus and the Tiburtine Prophesy Sibyl",Spinello Aretino's"Enthroned Madonna",Bernardo Daddi's"Fragment from Crucifixion Group",and Niccolo Da Segna's"Saints Catherine,Margaret,and Mary Magdalene" From the 15th Century,I especially relished Lorenzo Monaco's"Madonna and Christ Child",Fra Angelico's"Miraculous Feeding of the Dominicans",Marrioto di Nardo's"Arcita and Palomine Catch Sight of Emilia",and Giovanni Dei Paolo's"Saint Christopher" 16th Century Italian favorites included Vittore Carpaccio's"Martyrdom of Saint Stephan",Giovanni Di Giglio's"Crucifixion"(splendid Mannerism),and Jacopo Tintoretto's"Portrait of A Man" I saw fine exemplars of 17th Century Italian Mannerism by Francesco Furini("Penitent Mary Magdalene",Giovanni Bilivert's"Apollo and Daphne",and Pietro Della Vecchia's"Tribute Money". As for the 18th Century Italian Paintings,I especially liked Guisseppe Gambarini's"Egg Collecting Monks",Giovanni Batista Tiepolo's"Rest on the Flight Into Egypt",Gaspard Traversi's"Operation",and Giovanni Pannini's"Roma Antica",a splendid very punctilious painting. Finally my study of Italian Art at the Staatsgallerie culminated with three delightful paintings by Amadeo Modigliani("Reclining Nude")For those of us with a limited knowledge of German,there is labelling of the works of Art in English as well as German..Indeed,the Staatsgallerie is a very special art museum.

First of all, we had the 9-Euro bust ticket which got us both in for 10 Euro total. Leave your backpack and water bottle in a locker and go on your way. We were greeted by a very pleasant docent who helped us navigate the Old vs. New art in the museum. Every room has signs in German and English which I greatly appreciated. We quickly walked through the old stuff on a floor just to work ourselves over the Modern art collection. One aspect of the older work that I appreciated was seeing the artwork of local Stuttgart residents-- these are artists that never made it to my art history classes. I will go back the next time I am in Stuttgart to see the OLD stuff, hoping there is a Durer in there somewhere. The art here was by artists I was familiar with but all of the works were new to me. I was in art heaven. Modigliani, Mondrian, Franz Marc, George Grosz, Kurt Schwitters, Otto Dix, Joseph Beuys. There were just so many lovely surprises here. Don't forget to visit the small but mighty gift shop on the way out. They have a delightful selection of art-themed gifts here sure to please. Thank you, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, I will be back.

We hadn't yet dreamed that we'd be in a position to own a Porsche sports car. We are currently proud owners of a 2014 Cayman S. Since becoming Porsche owners and joining the Porsche Club of America, we have become strongly connected to the brand. This beautiful museum and the factory tour strengthens the connection. I have learned a ton about Porsche history and specifications so that I can crush our local tech quizzes, but I still learned new things from the signs for the cars on exhibit. I booked a factory tour for us many months in advance of our visit, and it was fantastic. We did the regular museum in the morning, then went back to our airbnb and had lunch. Resting up was key to us having the energy and attention for the factory tour and for walking through the museum one more time with fewer people around. I highly recommend this museum, and we'll be back.

I would ask someone in the museum where the children's museum was (I showed them the words on my phone since I don't speak German) and they would ultimately point me to another end of the museum. So I'd go from one person to another to another, and ultimately ended up in circles. At one point, a staffer said, "This is a MUSEUM. We don't have kids stuff." I left frustrated and ultimately perplexed about the existence of this mysterious children's museum that was depicted on the maps and museum signs.

Inside a a beautiful courtyard that's brilliantly designed and filled with statues and greenery, you're treated to a peaceful and royal aesthetic before you even walk inside. Like most museums, you'll be able to take a self guided tour, so if you don't know anything about art, this will guide you. Everyone is sure to find something they like since the small museum is filled with a diversity of time periods and styles. The atmosphere here is so casual and simple that it makes the perfect break from exploring the city. (Or a great cover from the rain like I had to use).

You will also see many medals of honor that were bestowed on various military and letters / pictures from the Imperial period There were also a few carved animals in jade, agate & other stones - some had diamonds eyes.....but there was another whole separate exhibit entitled the "Zoo" that required separate admission - of course, of which we paid entry The Faberge "Zoo" room was 1 room w/ a few cases of animals that have been created by the house of Faberge over the years & they ranged from miniature to huge. Lots of elephants & bunnies but we also saw rarities like a Duck-Billed Platypus. If you were looking for your favorite animal, chances are Faberge created it at some point The gift shop contained extremely pricey souvenirs of Faberge replicas - but I did not look closely enough to see if they were modern Faberge pieces or made elsewhere to honor the memory of Faberge Had the price been cheaper, I'd have been thrilled by this small exhibit but for what we paid compared to what we got to see, have to say this was just an OK experience & had it not been raining, we might have passed all together

It is a family private collection and consists of artists mainly American with a collection of modern art, pop art and appropriated art. They have some nice pieces of work from Andy Warhol and others. We had a tour guide who was pretty useless and was not able to explain a lot about the art or the artist. Her English was also weak which made the communication harder. I would visit this gallery if this type of art is your thing. It's one of only four private family collections in Ulm that you can visit without prior appointment and it is attached to the city museum so you can see both on the same day.
