The Schirn turns art into a blockbuster: its exhibitions on artists or collection themes regularly attract record numbers of visitors.
The Schirn is known worldwide for its blockbuster exhibitions, which attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to Frankfurt. The Kunsthalle is constantly putting together new exhibitions that either focus on individual artists or sometimes show the oeuvre of a particular period or art movement - be it art created in Paris around 1900 or the work of the Impressionists, for example. This was precisely the aim when the Schirn opened in 1986 in the centre of Frankfurt, near the Römer: To bring major exhibitions from international museums to Frankfurt. The Schirn does not have its own collection; each exhibition either comes from institutions such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Tate Gallery in London or the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Or they are conceived in-house - and then regularly sent on a world tour. The focus of the exhibitions is on art from the 19th century to the present day.
