Nestled at the foot of the Black Forest in South Germany, Baden-Baden is a chic destination for those who fancy a dip in its famous salt- and radon-rich thermal hot springs. The town has been a popular destination for so long that it's starting to show its age, but not to worry. It's still very classy, picturesque and well-maintained. (The Dame Julie Andrews of German spa towns, if you will.) Sporty types will find an abundance of opportunities to enjoy golf, tennis, horseback riding and skiing nearby in winter.

The New York architect Richard Meier described Museum Frieder Burda in Baden-Baden, which opened in October 2004, as a “jewel in the park”. Along the famous Lichtentaler Allee, he created a unique architecture that is bathed in light, in which the interior and exterior, contemporary art and romantic park landscape are in constant dialogue. Spread over four levels, Museum Frieder Burda presents artworks from the 20th and 21st centuries in changing exhibitions. These focus, on the one hand, on themes and artists relevant to the collection, for example, Pablo Picasso, Max Beckmann or Sigmar Polke. On the other hand, they also present current contemporary positions such as those of Andreas Gursky, JR and Katharina Grosse. The museum is funded by Stiftung Frieder Burda, a foundation with full legal capacity under Germany’s Civil Code.
The museum is beautiful, modern and has received award in its architecture. It is white and with glass with lots of lights located next to the beautiful park in the centre. It is just 2 or 3 minutes walk from the town centre and shops. At the time when we visited, there were a few temporary high quality exhibitions so there was no space for the permanent collections. The main exhibition was Karin Kneffel who is the top student of Gerhard Richter. The exhibition was absolutely brilliant. The shop was very nice and sells high quality goods. There is a coffee shop and through the other end of the coffee shop is another museum, Staatliche Kunsthalle which unfortunately we did not have time to visit. We enjoy this museum and the temporary exhibitions very much.

Definitely recommend this experience for anyone visiting Baden Baden. This town has witnessed a lot of history, from Roman expansion through to Imperial Luxury, Nazi occupation and the unfolding of medical practice. Sidenote -. if anyone is a fan of Foucault, you will find it very interesting to witness Baden-Baden's perspective on and insight into the evolving understanding of medicine.

The Faberge museum in Baden Baden is a fantastic place to witness and understand the oeuvre of one of the World’s foremost jewellers. Here you will see Imperial Eggs, breathtaking bejewelled plants and much more. There are also silver gilt dinner services from Sheffield and Aztec Gold. We were lucky to have a wonderful museum guide (no charge for this aspect) there to explain what we were looking at and he made the visit come alive and hugely interesting. I think the entrance price is about 15 euros or so.
The GALERIE SUPPER is specialized in contemporary art. Founded in 2002 it opened in Baden-Baden in 2012 with its current profile. The gallery promotes young, emerging artists with an unique signature. It is the intention to correlate them with renowned artists. Their positions should complement and stimulate each other, whereas every artist keeps his own characteristics. The gallery´s main focus follows two different guidelines: 1. We do present artists, that consider and acquire all possibilities of representation. 2. We do present artists, that question and reflect the current state of our society in their work. The gallery is member of the regional association of galleries in Baden-Wuerttemberg e.V. and has an space of approximately 200 m². Up to six shows are held each year.
