Saarland Museum

In 2004 the Palace Church was modernised, and connected to the Saarland Museum's Old Collection by a glass construction on the south side of the choir.

[1] The Old Collection (Alte Sammlung) is located in the Kreisständehaus, next to Saarbrücken Palace, and concentrates on artists from the 16th to the 19th centuries.

Landscapes and still lifes by 16th- and 17th-century painters such as Abraham Mignon, Joos de Momper and Gillis van Coninxloo are presented alongside works by later artists such as Johann Christian von Mannlich.

The collection is divided thematically into different styles of painting, and also includes a presentation of silverware, porcelain, coins, sculptures and furniture.

The permanent collection includes a large number of works by the American sculptor Alexander Archipenko.
