Museum sights in Freiburg

  1. A

    Vitra Design Museum

    Sharp angles contrast with graceful swoops and swirls on Frank Gehry's strikingly post-modern Vitra Design Museum. The blindingly white edifice hosts thought-provoking contemporary design exhibitions. Buildings on the nearby Vitra campus, designed by prominent architects like Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid and Alvaro Siza, can be visited on a two-hour architectural tour.

    In a sculpture-dotted park sits the neo-Gothic Colombischlössle villa, housing the Archäologisches Museum. A cast-iron staircase leads to a stash of archaeological finds from Celtic grave offerings to Roman artefacts.
