Neues Museum Nürnberg
The New (Neues) Museum in Nürnberg, Germany a Museum of Art and Design owned by the German State. The museum consists essentially of two collections, the contemporary art collection (international art of the present) and a set modern design by the new collection Munich (Neuen Sammlung München). The museum opened in 2001 and was designed by architect Volker Staab. The main building has a impressive architecture with a 100-metres curved glass facade which let you take a look in the museum. Though the modern architecture it fits perfectly into the old city of Nürnberg.
Neues Museum
For all signage and wayfinding at the Neues Museum the architect chose a famous type by Erik Spiekermann (also from Germany), the typeface Meta. Throught the museum in all levels of communication Meta is used. A typeface that fits well into its surroundings.

Other exhibitions at the Neues Museum
The art collection offers many insights into the development of art since the sixties. The museum is divided in seperate rooms and every room showcases a exhibition on its own, the walls are printed with quotes from designers, making it a visual experience walking through the Museum.
Design Collection
When walking through the museum you feel the inspiration and you will enjoy the many different art shown. You can find work of designers Warhol, Beuys and Neo Rauch. Some of the latest acquisitions from the museum are the works of British artist Julian Opie and from Czech artist Zdenek Sýkora. The museum walls are plain white that allows the art to come alive in the spaces, but the roof is made of glass and lets in daylight which sometimes gives too much light.

@ Helen Perry:
Heilig Geist Spital (Holy Ghost hospital) is quite a prominent place in the heart of Nürnberg; it’s located on the island Schütt, in the river Pegnitz.
I don’t know anything about your painter. But since the Imperial Regalia of the Holy Roman Empire were kept in Heilig Geist Spital until 1806 it is quite a popular motive with tourists and artists alike. And it is featured on almost every can of Lebkuchen from Nürnberg.

My mother purchased several paintings (8) by the aritist STELTER while in Germany in 1948-1951. She told me the artist was a woman but I know nothing else about her. All the paintings we have are small, about 12x16 but very pretty. Most of the paintings are of German buildings / houses some with rural backgrounds.

I am also interested in a painting done by Stelter. My friend has a lovely
one and asked me if I could gather some info for her. She said her painting like the other e-mails I read came from Germany. The painting looks to be pre- WW2.
Thank you,
Deb

I have a Braun atelier P1 sterio system. It is comprised of six different components (stackable pieces) that sits on a podium. I know that this is a collectable item and can’t seem to find any data on it only that it was made in the sixties. I would really appreciate any help on this item.
Thanks in advance

Add me to the Stelter list. I have one watercolor painting of flowers. On the back is typed Leipzig (from the framing shop, perhaps) and, in pencil, is the name “Paula Stelter”. Does this help in finding out about this artist? It is a lovely painting.

I have two small watercolors that I have tried to find information for. The signature of the painter is Gttz and one is Nurnberg, Neutorturm and the other is Nurnberg, Bratwurtherzchen. More in German is written on the back of the backing board on one of them. I would be grateful for any information.
Thank you,
