The Schirn is known worldwide for its blockbuster exhibitions, which attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to Frankfurt.
The Kunsthalle is constantly putting together new exhibitions that either focus on individual artists or sometimes show the oeuvre of a particular period or art movement - be it the art that emerged in Paris around 1900 or the work of the Impressionists, for example.
This was precisely the aim when the Schirn opened in 1986 in the heart of Frankfurt's city center, near the Römer: To bring major exhibitions from international museums to Frankfurt. Now, 40 years after it was founded, the main building is being renovated - and Bockenheim is becoming the city's new art hotspot. With the construction of the former Dondorf printing works, the Schirn has moved into interim quarters that give its exhibitions an additional dose of industrial charm. The move back to the Römer is planned for 2027.
Incidentally, the Schirn does not have its own collection; each exhibition either comes from institutions such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Tate Gallery in London or the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Or they are conceived in-house - and then regularly sent on a world tour from Frankfurt.
