The Liebieghaus was built in 1896, in a palatial, Historicist style, as a retirement home for the Bohemian textile manufacturer Baron Heinrich von Liebieg (1839–1904). The city of Frankfurt acquired the building in 1908 and devoted it to the sculpture collection.

A renovation was completed in October 2009. This included adding a publicly accessible “Open Depot”, making it possible for the first time to view certain parts of the collection that are not in the permanent exhibition.
