One of Germany's finest private art museums — a luminous Renzo Piano pavilion housing Frieder Burda's world-class collection of Picasso, Richter, Baselitz, and Abstract Expressionism. A profound hour among masterworks in one of Europe's most beautiful museum buildings.
What to expect
The museum's architecture ensures that natural light floods each gallery differently throughout the day — Renzo Piano's signature genius for making art glow from within. Permanent highlights include a breath-taking sequence of Picasso oils, masterful works by de Kooning and Pollock, and a significant Georg Baselitz collection. Rotating temporary exhibitions of international calibre feature loans from the world's great institutions. The museum café overlooking the Allee is an elegant spot for a post-gallery coffee.
