The old town hall in Menzenschwand-Hinterdorf has housed the Winterhalter Museum "Le Petit Salon" since 2008. The museum is dedicated to the two painters brothers Franz Xaver and Hermann Winterhalter. You were born in Menzenschwand and grew up there. From Menzenschwand they became one of the most famous portraitists of the 19th century, portraying numerous regents of that time.

In addition to the exhibition rooms located here, the neighboring former church is also to be converted into an exhibition and art house in the future.

Special exhibition "The Master's Apprenticeship"
from July 3 to September 15, 2024

The special exhibition "The Master's Apprenticeship" begins on July 3. Studies, drawings and sketches by Franz Xaver and Hermann Winterhalter are on display. Hermann played such a big part in the success of his charming, rhetorically adept older brother Franz Xaver, who was so adept at dealing with the nobility, that he too deserves this title of the exhibition. The exhibition runs until September 15.
Wednesday to Sunday and on public holidays from 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
