Probably the most famous street in Innsbruck, the Maria Theresa road with its Anna Column, is also home to the famous Art Gallery Tyrol (Kunsthalle Tirol). Artist talks, lectures, performances and panel discussions join the rich and international range of exhibitions on offer here throughout the year, which are much visited. The building that houses the Kunsthalle is the TaxisPalais, a baroque aristocratic palace that was adapted to its new function.

In the last century, it was extended to provide 800 sqm of exhibition space. In addition, there is a library open to the public with thousands of publications on contemporary art, culture and theory and a small café. The Art Gallery Tyrol in Innsbruck's beautiful centre is barrier-free accessible.

Only a few minutes' walk away are numerous other museums, including some Tyrolean State Museums, cultural institutions and the famous Goldenes Dachl (Golden Roof).
