Kunstverein Freiburg (art society Freiburg)

Nine-metre-high, whitewashed walls and the cool austerity of the 1938 extension to the municipal swimming pool form a brilliant backdrop. The effect of paintings, photographs, sculptures and installations is further accentuated here. Another special feature: each exhibition can also be viewed from a bird's eye view from the gallery. Where the water surface of the swimming pool used to be, a floor has now been installed. Above it is the impressive exhibition space, below it the former swimming pool serves as a storage area.

The Kunstverein Freiburg (art society) is one of the oldest and most renowned in Germany. Its program history of the 19th and 20th centuries reads like a "Who's Who" of classical modernism. Since 1950, the Kunstverein Freiburg (art society Freiburg) has developed into a nationally and internationally renowned institution. It deals exclusively with current trends in contemporary art, which is characterized by conscious observation of social and political issues.

Exceptional art in an exceptional place.
