The Museum Wiesbaden is the state museum of art and nature in the capital of Hesse. The exhibits of the two-division house range from natural history objects to the present day and are divided on the one hand into the art collections Old Masters, 19th Century and Art Nouveau, Classical Modern Art, Contemporary Art and Modern Art and on the other hand into the Natural History Collections. The museum owns the internationally most important collection of the work of Alexej von Jawlensky. Since June 2019, the Museum Wiesbaden has been showing the collection of Ferdinand Wolfgang Neess as a permanent presentation in its south wing. With furniture, glass, ceramics, lamps, paintings and silver, the presentation of over 500 objects forms a cross-section of all genres of Art Nouveau. The collection has been one of the most important private collections of Art Nouveau in Europe. Along with the Frankfurt Museum of Modern Art, it is one of the most important houses for modern art in Hesse.
