Neubrandenburg Art Collection
The Neubrandenburg Art Collection is the only museum of 20th- and 21st-century visual arts in the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte district.
It features two exhibition floors in an accessible, air-conditioned Baroque building with a new wing. The two permanent exhibitions on the upper floor are on view year-round. The exhibition *The Municipal Art Collection (1890–1945)* is on view in the cabinet. The Municipal Art Collection owes its founding in 1890 to Henry Stoll; it was significantly expanded in 1911 by August Schmidt. In 1920, the Municipal Art Collection moved into the south wing of the Ducal Palace. At the end of April 1945, this palace burned to the ground. Most of the art treasures were presumably moved to a safe location shortly before the fire; their whereabouts remain unknown to this day. In 2006, archaeological excavations on the market square uncovered around 150 mostly shattered porcelain pieces and fragments of small bronze sculptures that had survived the fire and the collapse of the palace. Several pieces, including numerous charming porcelain figurines from Meissen, have already been restored. Since its reestablishment in 1982, a collection of contemporary German art has been built up, comprising some 7,500 works. The collection is dominated by works of high sensual and symbolic expression, characterized by a painterly refinement. Currently on view in the exhibition *Der glückliche Griff* are paintings, objects, and sculptures by, among others, Theo Balden, Jürgen Brodwolf, Angela M. Flaig, Wieland Förster, Bernd Hahn, Veit Hofmann, Hans Jüchser, Konrad Knebel, Bernd Kommnick, Michael Morgner, Herta Müller, Max Neumann, Otto Niemeyer-Holstein, Theodor Rosenhauer, Daniel Spoerri, Werner Stötzer, Strawalde, Karlheinz Wenzel, and Michael Wirkner. The ground floor hosts temporary exhibitions featuring primarily contemporary artists.
Neubrandenburg Art Collection – the only art museum in the Mecklenburg Lake District
The Neubrandenburg Art Collection is the only museum of 20th- and 21st-century visual art in the Mecklenburg Lake District. Housed in an accessible, air-conditioned Baroque building with a modern extension, it offers an impressive overview of contemporary and historical works of art across two exhibition floors. Anyone traveling through the Baltic Sea region of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania—for example, from Rostock, Stralsund, or the Fischland-Darß-Zingst area—will find this a worthwhile stop inland.
Permanent Exhibitions: From the Municipal Art Collection to Contemporary Art
Two permanent exhibitions are on view year-round on the upper floor. In the cabinet, the exhibition The Municipal Art Collection (1890–1945) documents the eventful history of the Neubrandenburg collection, which was founded in 1890 by Henry Stoll and significantly expanded in 1911 by August Schmidt. During archaeological excavations on the market square in 2006, approximately 150 porcelain pieces and bronze fragments were recovered that had survived the fire at the Ducal Palace in April 1945—including restored Meissen porcelain figurines.
7,500 works of contemporary German art – the exhibition “Der glückliche Griff”
Since its reestablishment in 1982, a collection of approximately 7,500 works of contemporary German art has been assembled. The exhibition Der glückliche Griff features paintings, objects, and sculptures by artists such as Theo Balden, Wieland Förster, Daniel Spoerri, Otto Niemeyer-Holstein, and Strawalde. On the ground floor, exhibitions featuring primarily contemporary works are held on a rotating basis.

Behmshöhe observation tower
● Neubrandenburg
Want to see the four-gate city of Neubrandenburg from above? The Behmshöhe observation tower offers an impressive view. On the initiative of the association for the promotion of tourism at the time, an attraction was to be created in Nemerower Holz. In 1897, the town fathers decided to build a lookout tower, which was opened to the public in 1905. The 34-metre-high tower stands on Behmshöhe and offers a magnificent view of the clear Lake Tollensesee and the surrounding hilly landscape. To reach the viewing area, 111 steps have to be climbed - the magnificent view is well worth the effort. The Behmshöhe observation tower is not accessible for people with limited mobility. Opening times: From mid-April to mid-November daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
