Understanding the Leipzig art scene
A former industrial city that has become the capital of contemporary painting
Leipzig owes its singularity to the meeting of several stories: the graphic tradition of the city of books, the teaching of the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst, the painting of the Leipzig School and then of its "new" generation, and the reconversion of factories in the west after 1990. Baumwollspinnerei today concentrates workshops and galleries in a former spinning mill, while Plagwitz, Lindenau and the east of the city multiply independent places. At center, the MdbK, the GfZK, G2 and the Kunsthalle der Sparkasse give museum depth to the course.
Book Spinnerei on Saturday
The galleries of the old spinning mill generally open Tuesday to Saturday; the large Rundgänge concentrate openings, open workshops and guest projects. Allow several hours on site.
Connect Plagwitz and Lindenau
Tapetenwerk, D21, Museum für Druckkunst, workshops and galleries line the west. The tram and bicycle are more efficient than a long walk between the different industrial complexes.
Keep the center for collections
MdbK, G2, GfZK, Kunsthalle der Sparkasse and HGB Galerie connect old masters, Leipzig painting, contemporary art and artistic training in one coherent day.
