It also shows installations by Alicja Kwade, Rebecca Horn, William Kentridge, Joseph Kosuth and James Turrell.

In addition to outstanding art, visitors to the Kunsthalle Mannheim can look forward to impressive architecture: the historically grown complex on Mannheim's most beautiful square, Friedrichsplatz, includes Hermann Billing's Art Nouveau building from 1907 as well as the Hector Building by the Hamburg-based firm gmp - von Gerkan Mark und Partner, which was completed in 2017. In total, the Kunsthalle offers 5,700 square meters of exhibition space.
