MARTa Herford is a contemporary art museum in Herford, Germany.
Building and history
[edit]The idea for the museum formed in 2000, drawing from Herford's status as a German center of furniture and home furnishing production.[1] The name MARTa is an acronym for Möbel (German for furniture), ART (simply art in English), and Ambiente (ambience).[2] The founding director of the museum was Jan Hoet, a noted Belgian curator. Roland Nachtigäller took over as director in 2009.
The building was designed by Frank Gehry and built by Archimedes GmbH.[3] Construction began in 2001,[4] and it officially opened to the public on May 7, 2005.[1]
