In the heart of Stuttgart, the new museum building with its glass cube sets an architectural accent. Those who can still remember the situation at the "Kleinen Schloßplatz" square back in the seventies with its multilane motorway tunnels and pedestrian footbridges will be amazed at the transformation. Set in a context of urban redevelopment, the new design creatively corrects and integrates the unpopular relics of the former planning vision of a "car-friendly city." Culture is returning to the centre of life at Königsstraße high street; and in the museum restaurant citizens and guests enjoy a splendid view over the castle and city.
