State Gallery of Stuttgart (Staatsgalerie Stuttgart) is one of the most visited museums in the country. It is best known for an extensive collection of art of the twentieth century. But also a collection of works by the German, Dutch and Italian masters of the XIV-XIX centuries is exhibited in the gallery.
Among the masterpieces of the museum's collection there are works by Lucas Cranach the Elder, Hans Holbein the Elder, Fra Angelico, Rubens, Rembrandt, Caspar David Friedrich, Monet, Manet, Renoir, Cezanne, Picasso.
Three buildings, which are occupied by the gallery, can be found not less interesting than the masterpieces that are stored in there. The first building, Alte Staatsgalerie (Old Gallery), which is designed in a neoclassical style, was opened in 1843 under the patronage of King William I. The new gallery - Neue Staatsgalerie - is attached to the old one. It is the masterpiece of a postmodern architecture, which was designed by the British architect James Stirling in 1984. The newest member of the ensemble is a five-storey building that was constructed in 2002 by the Swiss architects Wilfrid and Katharina Steib. Inside there are rooms for temporary exhibitions and also a collection of graphics.
