This huge glass cube is Stuttgart's newest museum, a city art museum which opened on March 5, 2005.
Actually it's even bigger than it looks, because most of it is underground. The eleven (if I've counted correctly) floors of the visible cube will be used for special exhibitions that will change several times a year, whereas the permanant exhibits will be down below street level.
Second photo: Here are the opening times and contact details of the new art museum, as printed on the front door, with parts of the Castle Square and various people reflected in the glass. Leave a Comment

 Old State Gallery, Stuttgart by Nemorino
The Old Gallery, shown here, displays paintings from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. The New Gallery, which was added in 1984, contains art of the 20th century and soon also the 21st.
Both are located just across the street from the Opera House. But it is a very wide and busy street, so the only sane way to get over there is to go through the pedestrian tunnel, though I don’t usually do that if there is a feasible alternative.
Opening hours:
Wednesday, Friday to Sunday 10.00 - 18.00
Thursday 10.00 - 21.00
Closed on Mondays
Prices:
EUR 4.50, or EUR 3.00 for those who get a reduction
Free on Wednesdays
There is also a family ticket for EUR 8.00 Leave a Comment

 House of History by Nemorino
But since it looks exactly like both of these, I never realized until after about six visits to Stuttgart that it is something else entirely, namely a museum of the history of the state of Baden-Württemberg from about 1800 to the present.
From what I've seen so far it looks like a very lively and well-researched multi-media museum, so I'm definitely going to have a closer look the next time I'm in Stuttgart on a rainy day.
The exhibits seem to be mostly in German, logically enough, but audioguides in English and French are available at the information desk. Leave a Comment

The German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was born in this house on August 27, 1770.
The house now contains a small museum about Hegel's life and work. It begins on the ground floor with an exhibition on Stuttgart during Hegel's Lifetime 1770-1831.
Admission to the Hegel House is free. It is open Monday through Friday from 10:00-17:30 (Thursdays till 18:30), and Saturdays from 10:00-16:00. Closed on Sundays.
The Hegel House is the only museum in Stuttgart that is open on Mondays (except for one of the obnoxious automobile museums).
Second and third photos: On the first and second floors of the Hegel House there is a permanent exhibition showing the various stations in Hegel's life, from his birth and childhood in Stuttgart to his professorship in Berlin. As a young man he even spent a few years in Frankfurt am Main, where he worked as the house teacher for the children of a wealthy family. (This was how young intellectuals often earned their living in those days.)
Fourth photo: A wall of the museum with enlarged replicas of Hegel's handwritten pages.
Fifth photo: Here they have left off a square of the wall plaster to show how the house was constructed using oak timbers. While doing restoration work they uncovered several different color combinations of paint that had been used on the walls in various centuries.

The monument to King Wilhelm of Wuerttemberg in front of the national museum.
The National Museum is a piece of history, a good place to reflect on the course of history in a quiet atmosphere. Leave a Comment

 Me in the museum
courtyard with new pal by jayhawk2000
The exhibits sprawl over several floors, down corridors, up towers and around a courtyard. You might find it fun tripping around the corridors, heading up dead-end stairwells and opening heavy doors to reveal a treasure trove of delights, but a decent floorplan or more signage would enable you to make sure you weren't missing out and make the place feel more welcoming. The English brochure was only a basic list of the highlights.
For instance, coming down from the crown jewels tower we saw a door which looked intimidating and was covered with what I took to be warnings. We heaved it open anyway, half-wondering if perhaps we were invading some off-limits space, and were surprised to see a huge room of wooden religious carvings! The warnings must have been saying that it was a climate-controlled room and the doors had to remain shut tight.
These altarpieces, statues of saints and other icons probably impressed me the most. They were colourful, expressive and on a scale you don't see in England.
The lack of English captions or an English guide was frustrating, but things like pagan relics, crown jewels, Baroque clocks and Celtic goldwork all speak the universal language of artistic endeavours! They have on display what could be one of the oldest of all artworks, a piece of ivory carved into a lion's head 30,000 years ago, plus Aztec idols and frescoes from Pompeii.
With your tourist card you are entitled to a half price discount. Allow 2-3 hours (more if you understand German or have an interest in bones and stones as these were the bits we skimmed past quickly).
The museum is easy to find as it's in what looks to be an old and substantial fortress, though the castle was gutted by fire and completely rebuilt in the 1950s. It is open Tuesday to Sunday 10-5 and regular admission is 3 euro per person. Leave a Comment Address: Schillerplatz 6 70173 StuttgartPhone: 0711 2790Directions: Central Stutgart.

In the 14th century, this castle was the seat of the Counts of Wurttemberg. It now houses the Wurttemberg Museum. Leave a Comment

This building houses the Würtemberg Art Association and is the Gallery of the City of Stuttgart. It was also heavily damaged during WWII and has since been restored. Leave a Comment
