Rudolf Scharpf Gallery

The Rudolf Scharpf Gallery is the satellite venue of the Wilhelm Hack Museum and lies on Hemshofstraße in the lively Nord/Hemshof district. Named after the painter and benefactor Rudolf Scharpf, the gallery sees itself as a place for young and experimental contemporary art. In changing exhibitions, emerging artists in particular are often given the chance to present new positions. In the intimate rooms, visitors come especially close to contemporary art and discover currents away from the established art scene.

A testing ground for contemporary art

The Rudolf Scharpf Gallery is the satellite venue of the Wilhelm Hack Museum and lies on Hemshofstraße in the lively Nord/Hemshof district. Named after the painter and benefactor Rudolf Scharpf, the gallery deliberately sees itself as a place for young and experimental contemporary art. Here there is room to try out what finds less space in the large parent museum.

What to expect

In changing exhibitions, emerging artists in particular are often given the chance to present new positions. In the intimate rooms you come especially close to contemporary art and discover currents away from the established scene. Anyone wanting to see current trends before they arrive in larger houses is in exactly the right place here.

Tips for your visit

Since the gallery is closely tied to the Wilhelm Hack Museum, a visit combines well with the main house in the city centre. All around, the bustling Hemshof with its cafés and shops invites you to wander. It is worth checking the current exhibition programme, because the character of the house changes noticeably with every new show.
