Kitsch or Art? In Aalen, the perspective is the main focus
The Gallery in the Town Hall of Aalen invites you to an exhibition starting on July 24, 2026, which centers on one of the oldest and most intriguing questions of aesthetics: Where does art end, and where does kitsch begin? The exhibition is free to access and will be shown in the light-flooded rooms of the gallery located at Marktplatz 30 in Aalen.

Between Judgment and Wonder
The exhibition does not rely on quick answers but rather on careful observation. Accompanying texts open up space for different art styles and invite visitors to consciously question their own taste in art. This is precisely the strength of this art experience: the viewing of works becomes an aesthetic experience in which perception, judgment, and emotion engage in dialogue.

A Place for Cultural Education
The Gallery in the Town Hall of Aalen sees itself as a platform for regional and internationally known artists and regularly presents winners of the VR Art Prize. This connects the place's exhibition culture with cultural education and presents art not merely as decoration but as a space for discourse.
