Darmstadt's sights, Art and Culture
On a hill, the landmark of Darmstadt rises into the sky: the Wedding Tower. The Artists' Colony Mathildenhoehe, the Exhibition Hall, the Wedding Tower, the Artists' Colony Museum and the magnificent artists' houses from the time of Art Nouveau give this hill its unique flair.
In addition, Darmstadt also has a variety of other attractions: the modern science and congress center darmstadtium or the Staatstheater Darmstadt, the colourful "Waldspirale" from Friedensreich Hundertwasser or numerous parks and gardens.
Beside the well-known museums such as the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt, the Museum Artists' Colony Darmstadt or the Museum in the residential palace, there are also the Museum Jagdschloss Kranichstein, the Grand Ducal Hessian Porcelain collection or the Kunsthalle Darmstadt as well as other museums and cultural institutions to discover.
