Museum Brandhorst
The Kunstareal district in Munich (Munich vacation rentals | Munich travel guide) has much to boast about already; however, with the addition of the Museum Brandenhorst it is truly becoming a center of modern culture. The museum displays 700 works of art and literature from the collection of Udo and Annette Brandhorst, heirs to the Henkel fortune. Some of the modern artists featured in the museum's collection include Bruce Nauman, Andy Warhol, Joan Miró, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Damien Hirst, among many more. All add a special multi-culturalism to already unique city.
Along with the impressive collections of modern art is the equally impressive architecture of the building itself. With an ecological design in mind Berlin (Berlin vacation rentals | Berlin travel guide) architecture firm Sauerbruch Hutton have designed a two-story, multi-colored façade which complements the collection it houses. Make sure to take a walk around the building to fully appreciate the inner contents it holds.
