We cordially invite you to the public tour of the exhibition The new city on Sunday, May 25th  2025, at 2:30 pm at the Schloßbergmuseum. The exhibition at the Schloßbergmuseum traces the intense and momentous era of ‘Karl-Marx-Stadt’, which lasted only a few decades, with a special focus on developments in urban planning and architecture.

Further dates can be found in our calendar of events. Participation in all public tours is included in museum admission.

Due to the limited space available in the special exhibition ‘The New City’, the group size for public tours is limited to 20 people.

We recommend booking by e-mail (info.kunstsammlungen@stadt-chemnitz.de) or telephone (0371 488 4424). Groups of 10 people or more are requested to pre-book guided tours due to the limited number of participants. Thank you very much!

We look forward to seeing you!
