Museum Frieder Burda
The New York architect Richard Meier described the Frieder Burda Museum in Baden-Baden, which opened in October 2004, as a »jewel in the park«. Along the famous Lichtentaler Allee, he created a unique, light-flooded architecture in which interior and exterior, modern art and a romantic park landscape are in constant dialogue.
Visitors with special needs are very welcome in the Frieder Burda Museum. All public areas of the museum are barrier-free.
