Hamburg Museum of Art (Hamburger Kunsthalle)

The Hamburg Art Museum on Glockengießerwall Street was founded in 1817 by the Hamburg Kunstverein – a local artistic society group – but construction began only in 1869. Private donors contributed two-thirds. cost, around 300,000 D-Mark (a huge amount at the time) and made the Hamburg Kunsthalle a symbol of civic engagement.
