Museum Fur Moderne Kunst Frankfurt

Museum Fur Moderne Kunst Frankfurt

Museum is integral part of any city; the museums encapsulate the tradition, culture and history of a place. The museums of Frankfurt are also no different; the numerous museums of the city highlight the rich historical and cultural heritage of the city. Museum Für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt is one of the latest additions to the list of museums in the city. The idea of the museum was conceived in the year 1981 and two years later, Hans Hollein, who is a celebrated Viennese architect, was given the responsibility to design the building. The museum is considered to be a rare architectural marvel; it boasts of a unique design that resembles a slice of cake. Museum Für Moderne Kunst is one of the important museums of the city and the local people refer to the museum as 'das Tortenstuck', which means the slice of cake. The highlight of the building is its architecture; in fact the unconventional yet elegantly designed building aptly reflects the style of contemporary art and architectural landscape that is in vogue in the city. You will be fascinated by the naturally-lit, glass-vaulted hall covering two floors, which leads to the upper floors.

As far as the exhibits of the museum are concerned, you can see here an extensive collection of works of art that has been donated by the Darmstadt industrialist Karl Stroher. While visiting the Museum Für Moderne Kunst, you can see works of many celebrated artists like American artists including Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. Some of the installations at the museum have become extremely popular with the visitors of the museum. The exhibits of the museum are shuffled every two years and frequently include works of art by upcoming and talented artists.

If you feel hungry, while touring the museum do not worry, there is a glass-fronted cafeteria on the ground floor of the museum. The cafeteria offers lip smacking snacks and refreshing beverages to re-energize you.
