The museum includes the Kunstbibliothek’s Collection of Photography and the Helmut Newton Foundation.
The Helmut Newton Foundation occupies the two lower floors in the building and has for many years presented its hugely successful permanent exhibition ‘Helmut Newton’s Private Property’, as well as individual exhibitions on Helmut Newton’s work, his wife Alice Springs, and his contemporaries.
In the Kaisersaal on the museum’s second floor, the Kunstbibliothek’s Collection of Photography presents a series of rotating exhibitions that explore the medium of photography in all its protean forms. From 2004 on, a range of photographers and artists designed spectacular installations specifically for the room that had been severely damaged in the Second World War. The hall’s renovation, which lasted until 2010, means it is now suitable to host exhibitions of all kinds of photography ranging from the 19th to the 21st century. The exhibitions are accompanied by a varied programme of guides, lectures, and symposia on current research topics
