Germany's first art society was founded by a group of art-lovers in 1817. In 1826, the first public exhibition took place and in 1836, the first pieces were obtained for the society's collection. In the mid-19th century, the Kunstverein contributed much to the inception of the Kunsthalle. Nowadays, after moving several times, the society's headquarters are located at Klosterwall. It has two large exhibition rooms, which are used for experimental exhibitions by young artists as well as retrospectives of influential modern and postmodern artists. The society also organises lectures, seminars, workshops and excursions. Guided tours are organised every Sunday.
