The Museum Neues Weimar (known as the Thüringisches Landesmuseum from 1919 to 1946) and as the Neues Museum Weimar (after 1999) is a museum in Weimar, Germany, operated by the Klassik Stiftung Weimar, which focuses on art and design from 1900 and includes its own workshop for craft-based work. Originally built as the Grand Ducal Museum (German: Großherzogliches Museum) in Weimar, it is one of the first purpose-built museum buildings in Germany. The neo-renaissance building was constructed in 1869 according to the plans of the Prague architect Josef Zitek.

In the 1920s, trailblazing exhibitions of modern art were presented here. The permanent exhibition opened in 2019, recounts the history of modernism before the Bauhaus.

Permanent exhibition

The permanent exhibition Van de Velde, Nietzsche und die Moderne um 1900 (Van de Velde, Nietzsche and Modernism around 1900) opened in April 2019. It presents international works of early modernism from the Weimar School of painting to Henry van de Velde.

The exhibition is dedicated to the mentors and trailblazers of modernism. Beginning with the cult surrounding Friedrich Nietzsche and leading into the European avant-garde supported by Count Harry Kessler and Henry van de Velde's innovative School of Arts and Crafts – the exhibition sketches an exciting picture of early modernism in Weimar. Internationally significant works of Realism, Impressionism and Art Nouveau can be seen.
