Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt
Friedensplatz 1, 64283 Darmstadt
The art and natural history collections of the landgraves and grand dukes form the basis of today‘s Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt.
The art and natural history collections of the landgraves and grand dukes form the basis of today‘s Hessian State Museum Darmstadt (HLMD). With collections from the fields of art, cultural and natural history, the state museum is today one of the oldest universal museums in Europe. The building was designed specifically for the various collections in close consultation with Grand Duke Ernst-Ludwig and Alfred Messel and opened in 1906.
The painting collection comprises over 440 works, including Pieter Brueghel, Peter Paul Rubens, Arnold Böcklin, August Macke and Gerhard Richter. The prints and drawings collection includes drawings by Albrecht Dürer, Michelangelo and Rembrandt van Rijn. The jewellery collection and the room ensembles by Henry van de Velde in the Art Nouveau department are world-famous.
Another highlight: the "Beuys Block", which brings together a total of 290 works by Joseph Beuys in seven rooms. The natural history collection also has a lot to offer. For example, the dioramas from 1906, which are architecturally embedded in the building and show animals in their natural environment. A highlight of the natural history collection are numerous original fossils from the UNESCO World Heritage Site Messel Pit.
There are also special themed tours and special family and children‘s tours in foreign languages. Information via the Landesmuseum (06151) 165 71 11, or overview tours via Darmstadt Marketing (06151) 134 513.
Accessibility is realised to the best of our ability in the HLMD - as far as this is possible in an old building. The building has ramps, lifts that can be used by the physically disabled and barrier-free toilets. There is also an audio guide for blind visitors, which supports the content of the six specially created tactile models.
The museum café at Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt is currently closed. Until a new tenant is found, there is a €1 discount on food and drinks in the HGC Herrngartencafé on presentation of a current museum admission ticket.

Faces are omnipresent. We see them in newspapers and magazines, on advertising posters, in our Instagram feed or on TikTok. The face is an expression of personality. We learn to read faces and interpret looks from an early age. Not least in our digital world with Facebook and selfies, the face is the medium of expression, self-presentation and communication.

Candida Höfer is one of the world‘s most recognised German photographers. Like Andreas Gursky and Thomas Ruff, she is one of Bernd and Hilla Becher‘s students at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art and one of the most important representatives of the Düsseldorf School of Photography. She studied there from 1973 to 1982 and became known for her precisely composed photographs of the interiors of public buildings. In large format, she shows deserted halls in museums, opera houses, theatres, churches, zoological gardens and libraries, places of encounter, communication, remembrance and knowledge, but also of relaxation and recreation. The artist does not see her works as architectural photographs, but as portraits of spaces whose function and cultural significance become visible.

Clouds are one of the most fascinating and at the same time omnipresent phenomena in our atmosphere. Clouds appear in the most diverse forms. They can end droughts, but they can also bring floods and devastation. They influence our weather, our daily lives and play a decisive role in the complex climate system. Understanding clouds has never been more important.
