Freunde des Kunstmuseums Stuttgart e.V.

About us

Everyone needs friends—even an art museum

The FREUNDE des Kunstmuseums Stuttgart e.V. (Friends of the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart) have been supporting the museum since 2003. The patrons' association was founded to establish the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart and its art-historically important collection on a broad basis among the residents of the city and region. Our dedicated members are united by their joy in and enthusiastic involvement with art.

The association's activities focus on the nonmaterial and financial support of the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. This includes providing assistance for exhibitions and events and in particular the expansion and maintenance of the museum's collection through the acquisition of artworks. In the course of the past few years, the association has thus purchased quite a number of works that otherwise would have been unattainable for the museum and made them available as permanent loans.

The association is interested in continually expanding the number of the "Freunde." Members enjoy these exclusive benefits:

Previews of the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart's exhibitions
Special tours with Director Dr. Ulrike Groos, curators, artists, and collectors
Excursions to selected "art destinations" in Germany and abroad
Free admission to all exhibitions at the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart and cooperating museums

We offer the following memberships:

Individual members € 400
Couples € 500
Companies € 2.500

For further information on memberships, please contact the office of the FREUNDE. The FREUNDE look forward to welcoming you as a member.
