[edit] History
The gallery occupies a site next to the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart.
[edit] Style
The warm tone of the stone used, constrasting to the green steel framing system and the bright pink and purple steel handrails, gives a pleasant journey through the history of paintings and sculptures to visitors.
[edit] Influence
It is believed by some that this building, being a much acclaimed example of British architecture, was one of the principal reasons Stirling received the Pritzker Prize in 1981.
