Your visit
Welcome to your StadtPalais!
The StadtPalais – Museum for Stuttgart is more than just a museum for city history. It is an open, living house in which history is told and lived in analog and digital form. As a science center for urban culture, the StadtPalais aims to question conventional approaches and ways of thinking through discourse and academic work and to facilitate the transfer of knowledge through unusual presentations. Digital paths are to be explored and rethought. In both analog and digital space, a museum is being created that is constantly reinventing itself, inspiring, challenging, inspiring, diverse and innovative and always daring to do amazing things with the aim of helping to shape a city worth living in and loving.
It’s great that you are here.
Permanent Exhibition
All texts in the exhibition are in German and English
The permanent exhibition illuminates the city’s history from the end of the 18th century to the present day from many perspectives.
In the huge city model, contemporary Stuttgart becomes a multi-media experience. In the city talks about freedom of the press, electrification or hip-hop, the people of Stuttgart from back then have their say in radio plays and exciting objects. The interactive stations “Geist” and “Gestalt” allow buildings and things from Stuttgart to tell their story – from Filderkohl to Solitude Palace. Pieces from the last 200 years of Stuttgart’s past unfold their authentic magic in the century rooms.
Everything here revolves around the questions: What makes Stuttgart so special? What were and are the people of Stuttgart like? And how does one actually become a Stuttgarter?
open: Tuesday–Sunday 10 am to 6 pm
Admission free
Dauerausstellung Stuttgarter Stadtgeschichten
Kinderbaustelle
Welcome to the children’s construction site on the garden floor of the StadtPalais – Museum für Stuttgart! Little builders, architects and craftspeople are building their city of the future here.
In the construction container you will find exciting children’s books on the subject of construction sites, comfortable cushions, mini dungarees and hard hats. Get changed, grab a helmet and off you go.
Do you already have an idea of what you want to build? A building as high as a fairytale tower, as safe as a castle or as light as a castle in the air?
You can team up with the other construction site children, ask dad and mom for help or start building your unique structure on your own. Climbing onto the scaffolding will give you a great overview of the construction site. You can then hurtle down the rubble chute into the huge trough.
Use the conveyor belt, construction vehicles, cranes and sack trucks to transport the various building materials to the desired location. And now get to work! Have fun discovering, building and, of course, playing!
open: Monday–Sunday 10 am to 6 pm
Admission free
Important: Only under the supervision of an accompanying adult. All persons must wear socks (children and adults).
