The art collections Chemnitz - Museum am Theaterplatz were built in 1909 under Richard Möbius. The first exhibition in the new museum building with about 500 works of art was attended by the expressionist Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, whose work today forms the centerpiece of the museum. The museum houses 70,000 objects from the 16th to the 21st century in various departments. Thus, the painting includes numerous works by artists such as Caspar David Friedrich, Carl Gustav Carus, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Lovis Corinth, Edvard Munch and Georg Baselitz. In the inventory of sculptures are u. a. Works by Edgar Degas, Aristide Maillol, Georg Kolbe and Tony Cragg. The Graphic Collection owns about 28,000 works on paper. Outstanding holdings are the convolutions of Lyonel Feininger, Honoré Daumier and Wolfgang Mattheuer. The museum also includes the collection of textiles and arts and crafts with Coptic fabrics and one of the largest stocking collections around 1900, the Carl Friedrich Claus-Archiv Foundation with the artist's entire estate and the more than 70,000 volumes of the Kunstbibliothek.
