ANYTHING BUT FLAT! From Surface to Space

October 13, 2024 to March 23, 2025

The upcoming group exhibition with works from the Siegfried and Jutta Weishaupt collection shows how diverse and complex the conquest of (surrounding) space is.
Whether spanned, layered, slit or squeezed – what the works have in common is the path away from two-dimensionality and towards the spatial object. With works by Lucio Fontana, Imi Knoebel, Katja Strunz and others.

Opening day Sunday, October 13, 2024 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

11 a.m. and 12 p.m.: short tours for adults (in German)
2 p.m. and 3 p.m.: short tours for families with children (in German)
11 a.m. to 3.30 p.m.: ASK ME! Art educators are available at the hands-on stations for exchange and trying things out together.

Admission and participation in the tours are free

Current Exhibition

Spelling Museum in a New Way

While the museum buildings will be extensively renovated, converted and partially renovated by autumn 2025, the Museum Ulm will be a guest on the first floor of the kunsthalle weishaupt.

Until 27 October 2024 the first part of the exhibition “Spelling Museum in a New Way” is on display there, for which the museum team has selected works of art, objects, fragments, tools, stories and incidents from everyday museum life based on the letters of the alphabet to make the museum and the work behind the scenes more surprising, lively and approachable. First ordered from A to L – in the second part from M to Z. The famous Lion Man from the UNESCO World Heritage site can also be seen again under the letter L.

The kunsthalle weishaupt is operated in cooperation with the city of Ulm and is supported by the Museum Ulm.

Exhibition Change

From October 1, 2024, we will be setting up the exhibition “Anything but flat! From Surface to Space” on the second floor. Until the opening day on October 13, 2024, only the exhibition “Museum re-spelled” on the first floor will be accessible. The Lion Man will be on display during this time.
A reduced admission price of 4 euros per person applies.

The ‘Löwenmensch’ (Lion Man)

The neighbouring Museum Ulm is currently closed due to rebuilding measures. During the closure one of the highlights of the Museum’s collection – the Lion Man – is on display at the kunsthalle weishaupt, included in the exhibition “Spelling Museum in a New Way”.
The Lion-Man is truly one-of-a-kind and one of the oldest figurative carvings ever discovered. The fabulous – half lion, half man – sculpture was made from mammoth ivory approximately 40,000 years ago. It was discovered at Hohlenstein-Stadel cave in the Lone valley, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017.
