What's on

The Kunsthalle Mannheim looks with horror at the current events in the current events in the Middle East. We condemn the terrorist attack by Hamas on 7 October. Nothing can justify or relativise it. We stand in solidarity with all peace-loving people who have to suffer from the effects of this terrorist attack and condemn the consequences for Jewish life worldwide. We expressly distance ourselves from trivialization and advocacy of violence and terrorism.   

Architecture
