Weserburg

Opened in 1991, it is located on the Teerhof peninsula next to the River Weser in an old factory building which was almost completely destroyed in the Second World War.

It was used for various cultural purposes including artists' ateliers and art exhibitions, until it was decided it should become a collectors' museum.

The conversion of building was completed in 1991 under the supervision of architect Wolfram Dahms, providing 6,000 m2 (65,000 sq ft) of exhibition space.

Exhibitions from European collectors large and small have provided insights into contemporary art.

[3] In November 2013, there was a suggestion the museum could possibly be moved to the green area in the Cultural Mile (Kulturmeile) behind the Wilhelm Wagenfeld House which would bring it close to the Kunsthalle, facilitating cooperation between the two institutions.
