Show sight on map

The ZKM | Museum für Neue Kunst was a museum of the Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, which emerged from the Museum für Gegenwartskunst in 1999. Under the direction of Götz Adriani, the Museum of Contemporary Art was run as a "collector's museum" as a museum that was virtually independent of the ZKM. With the departure of Götz Adriani in 2004, the Museum of Contemporary Art was reintegrated into the ZKM as a department under the direction of Ingrid Leonie Severin. In 2017, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Media Museum were formally dissolved as part of the restructuring of the ZKM and the collections of the museums were merged.
