Life in the state capital is vibrant, it is varied and lively. And this liveliness expresses itself in a wide range of cultural offers, which includes theatre, art, literature and music in its different forms.
Every year international renowned ensembles come to Wiesbaden during the International May Theatre Festival and to other world-class events at the Hessian State Theatre. But art and culture are also found outside these major venues. Variety shows, music and improvisational theatre are offered at many different occasions which stand out because of their originality.
A high-quality and manifold range is provided due to the museums scene in Wiesbaden. For example Museum Wiesbaden has a number of important collections, including the most significant European collection by Russian painter Alexej von Jawlensky.
Poets and writers have always been inspired by the life in Wiesbaden or the beauty of the neigbouring Rheingau region. Dostoevsky, Goethe or Brentano are among them - to name only a few.
