Walter Art Museum in the "Glaspalast" industrial monument
The Glaspalast (glass palace) is a textile factory built in 1905 - an industrial monument from the time when Augsburg was also known as "Germany's Manchester". With more than a thousand works, the Walter Collection is both vast and varied and offers a highly individual guide to contemporary art. As well as a large collection of Egidio Constantini pieces, the museum has works by Georg Baselitz, Max Ernst, Markus Lüpertz, R. Penk, Sigmar Polke, Arnulf Reiner and many others. It also has one of the world's best collections of surrealist paintings by Augsburg artist Wolfgang Lettl.

This is where Bertolt Brecht came into the world in 1898. He would later become famous all over the world for his poetry, his stories and his plays, including "Threepenny Opera" and "Mother Courage". The building now houses an exhibition of the life and works of this acclaimed writer.
