Culture in Erfurt

The Anger Museum is located at the junction of Bahnhofstraße/Anger, therefore, at THE intersection in the city center. This is probably why every tourist crosses by. By the way: all trams cross here as well. This beautiful building is in the Baroque period originated. It has a magnificent facade. Today it houses the Museum of Fine Arts. Already in 1886 a gallery was opened here. For more than one year they offer the Art Break (Kunstpause), every Wednesday from 13:00h to 13:10h. Entrance is free. They offer a ten minute photo viewing (with explanations about the artist and the work). The whole thing is under the motto "Relax ... switch off ...". There is a small free trip into the world of art. One can be inspired. Thought is the art of break as an invitation to look, as a school of vision. Maybe you can also lose reservations. It is also an invitation for an entertaining look at a painting. Those who are guests of our city, should have a look on it, when you are there at this time. Please note: Jackets and bags must be done in a locker (in the basement). For the safety deposit box, you need a 1-Euro coin. At the museum you are not able to change. Well-maintained toilets are also in the basement of the museum.

Small cinema. Quite different from Cinemax, Cinestar and the rest of the big ones. Here you won't see the standard big blockbusters. You will find special movies of different styles. You can also express wishes which films you want to see. Cinema of a different kind - small but very nice and friendly. Tickets: only 22 of the 52 available sears can be reserved with a maximum of 2 days in advance. Ticke sale daily from 16:00h. You wont fin here popcorn and soda. In the club room/café you can buy (30 minutes before the performance - and only with a valid ticket!) wine and nibbles as well as soft drinks or coffee. Certainly not for everyone, but if you are looking for something special, this is the place!

An extraordinary experience ... The events take place at the company Kakteen-Haage in Erfurt. Kakteen-Haage is also one of the traditional Thuringian companies. It exists since 1822 and has the oldest cactus-breeding in Europe. It takes place twice a year. And it was a brilliant 5-course meal. In each course a cactus occurs.

For the first time the "Musikfest" (Fete de la Musique) took place in 1982 in Paris. Meanwhile it is every year in 540 cities worldwide, 300 cities in Europe, 50 cities in Germany.
