CITY GUIDE BONN: BUNDESKUNSTHALLE
Since it first opened, the exhibition hall has numbered amongst the most frequented in all of Germany. In 1992, architect Gustav Peichl constructed a cube with an ancient Egyptian appearance above a square with sides of 96 meters. The 16 columns stand for the 16 federal states in Germany, and a large forecourt separates the building from art museum situated opposite. On an area of 5,600 square meters a highly varied program is organized. Up to four exhibitions take place here simultaneously – in quick alternation. A show about “Napoleon and Europe is just at home here as “Masterworks of Classic Modernism” or the retrospective of a contemporary artist. Important cultural treasures can be borrowed because the Federal Republic of Germany vouches for them.
