Museums & Galleries

Culturally diverse.

The young city of Wolfsburg has quite a few cultural highlights to offer. They include a large number of museums and galleries. Painting, sculpture, photography and the like: the Wolfsburg Art Museum inspires visitors with top-class contemporary and avant-garde art. Important exhibitions of works – some of them German premières – can be seen there. Documentary and great art await visitors at Wolfsburg Castle. An impressive cultural centre has evolved here in the shape of the City Museum, the Municipal Gallery, the Art Association and the institute of the renowned photographer Heinrich Heidersberger.
