The Schirn Kunsthalle does not have its own collection but holds temporary exhibitions by German and foreign artists. The top-floor gallery has been home to exhibitions such as ‘European Masterpieces 1910-1960′ and the ‘Kandinsky Retrospective’. The name ‘Schirn’ comes from the butchers’ market stalls which used to stand here in the Middle Ages. Admission varies according to exhibition.
