The photographs of Helmut Newton in the neo-Classical building of what was formerly an army officers' casino. Since 2004, the museum has presented temporary exhibitions on the life and work of Helmut Newton, one of the most important fashion and portrait photographers of the 20th century. Newton loaned a vast collection of photographs to the museum for exhibition.

The exhibitions examine various aspects of Newton's complex, innovative and provocative works. The Helmut Newton Foundation also shows work by other artists and photographers who enter a dialogue with Newton's work. The museum's Imperial Hall, which has been restored and converted, also holds special exhibitions featuring photographs from the 19th century to the present day from the art library's photography collection.
