Modern Museums

In Weil am Rhein, in the state’s southwest corner, you can see the first German design by Frank Gehry, the veteran North American “starchitect”. With its complex of towers, ramps and cubes, his Vitra Design Museum has to be seen to be believed.

By contrast, the architecture of the Ritter Sport Museum is simple. Ritter is a well-known international chocolate company, known for its square pocket-sized chocolate bar. That’s why the Ritter Sport Museum is also square. Although the theme of the collection of modern art is square, the attitude is anything but “square”!
