Designed by Hans Hollein, this museum is among the most important in Frankfurt and is known to locals as 'das Tortenstück' ('the slice of cake') due to its triangular shape. The unconventional yet elegantly designed building reflects the style of contemporary art and enriches Frankfurt's architectural landscape. The focal point is a naturally-lit, glass-vaulted hall covering two floors, from which staircases lead to the exhibition's upper floors. The nucleus of the collection comes from Darmstadt industrialist Karl Ströher and includes works by American artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. Installations like Lightning Strike with Stag in its Glare by Joseph Beuys are a hit with the public. Exhibits are rotated biannually and often include works and projects by up-and-coming young artists. A glass-fronted cafeteria is located on the ground floor.
