Frieder Burda was born in 1936 as the second son of publisher Franz Burda and entrepreneur Aenne Burda. His passion for art and an unerring eye for quality made him one of the most internationally significant collectors of his generation. The museum he founded opened in 2004 on Baden-Baden's famous Lichtentaler Allee and is located in the immediate vicinity of the Staatliche Kunsthalle, to which it is connected by a glass bridge. Designed by the American star architect Richard Meier, the building is often referred to as a \u201cjewel in the park\u201d and captivates visitors with its open, light-filled architecture, in which cleverly designed visual axes repeatedly open up views of the surrounding sculpture park. With an average of two to three special exhibitions per year, the museum has developed over the past 20 years into one of Europe's most important private museums and enjoys a high reputation internationally, not least due to its active loan program. <\/p>\n\n
