The Bielefeld Kunsthalle is an art gallery with an emphasis on modern art, built by American master architect Philip Johnson (1906 – 2005) from 1966 to 1968. It is the only museum building Johnson ever designed in Europe. The basic shape is that of a cube and it is made of red sandstone. According to Yoko Ono, who could be persuaded to do an exhibition here in 2008, it is "the most beautiful museum I have ever seen. It was like meeting a spirit, not a museum" (Yoko Ono). The Kunsthalle possesses a notable collection of temporary and 20th century art, including works by Picasso, Sonia and Robert Delaunay, Max Beckmann, Man Ray and Oskar Schlemmer, but is best known for themed temporary exhibitions, of which about four are held every year.
Opening hours are Tu-Su 11-18 hrs, We 11–21 hrs and Sa 10-18 hrs (Mo closed), admission is 7.00 € for adults.

Die Kunsthalle Bielefeld wurde 1966 - 1968 von dem amerikanischen Meisterarchitekten Philip Johnson (1906 – 2005) erbaut und ist Johnsons einziger Museumsbau in Europa. Die Grundform ist die eines Würfels und das Material ist roter Sandstein. Für Yoko Ono, die hier 2008 eine Ausstellung gezeigt hat, ist sie "the most beautiful museum I have ever seen. It was like meeting a spirit, not a museum" (Yoko Ono). Der Eigenbesitz der Kunsthalle umfasst bedeutende Werke des 20. Jahrhunderts und der Gegenwart, u.a. von Picasso, Sonia und Robert Delaunay, Max Beckmann, Man Ray und Oskar Schlemmer, der Ruhm des Hauses gründet sich aber insbesondere auf themengeleitete Ausstellungen, von denen etwa vier pro Jahr gezeigt werden.
Die Öffnungszeiten sind Di-So 11-18 h, Mi 11–21 h und Sa 10-18 h (Mo geschlossen), der Eintritt beträgt 7,00 € für Erwachsene.
