In March 2005, the municipal art collection at last found an apt setting in the crystal cube of the new Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. The basis of the collection was the endowment of Marquis Silvio della Valle di Casanova, who in 1924 donated his private collection to this place. The museum is vast with beautiful paintings from all over. Once tired of exploration and admiration the visitors can visit the in-house bar and restaurant for drinks or snacks with an impressive view over the Schlossplatz. Also, there is an interesting shop to take away few things as a reminiscence of the museum.
This is an open-air museum laid out in a park at the foot of the Karlshöhe after the fashion of Italian Renaissance gardens. It's a particularly delightful way to become acquainted with Stuttgart's architectural and cultural history. Also, there are more than two hundred statues to marvel at.
Struempfelbach Sculpture Trail starts from Kirschblütenweg with a bronze idol of a lute player. This 2.8 kilometer trail (1.74 miles) winding through vineyards is a delightful way of checking out the sculptural works of the Nuss family. Comprising of 43 stone and bronze sculpted works of Fritz Nuss, his son, Karl Ulrich Nuss and grandsons, Felix Engelhardt and Christoph Traub, these artworks add a certain charm to the landscape. They also make for an interesting walk through the grapevines.
