Metzler supports extension of Städel Museum
The Frankfurt based Metzler Bank and the Metzler Family will support the Städel Museum in the realisation of the planned extension building with a donation of 3 million euros. The extension of the gallery space of the Städel Museum arises from the need to meet the challenge of an adequate presentation of the existing collection and new acquisitions, increased visitor numbers and the additional tasks of a modern museum operation in terms of both space and functionality. The Städel and the Metzler Family have had close connections since the founding of the museum in the early 19th century.Please find more information in our press area.
