The major summer presentation at the Museum Frieder Burda from now to September 20 focuses on “Heinz Mack Light Shade.” Mack is a co-founder of the work group ZERO. His 2015 exhibition shows the reliefs, which were central to his plastic-sculptural work, and will attract art lovers from around the world to come to Baden-Baden. He recently had a major exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
From now to October 11, 2015 the “Staatliche Kunsthalle” opens its doors to an exhibit called “Übermorgenkünstler” (day-after-tomorrow artists), inviting young art students and graduates of various state colleges to show their talents.
Next door to the Kunsthalle, the Museum LA8 is home to the exhibit “Music! The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in the 19th Century. The emergence of a world orchestra” that runs through August 30. It is a journey of discovery through the founding history of the orchestra.
As of September 19, 2015 – February 2016 the Museum LA8 will take you on a journey during the time of the Prussians in the form of a special exhibit, “The Prussians in the West. Culture, Technic and Politics in the 19th Century.”
The Fabergé Museum – the world’s first and only of its kind – is a private collection of more than 700 pieces of the broad spectrum of the work by Carl Farbergé, including – among others – two Imperial Easter Farbergé Eggs, the famous Rothschild Easter Egg, and items formerly owned by Jacqueline Kennedy.

Do not forget to visit any one of our many museums with their special exhibits.

End your day with a visit to the Casino Baden-Baden – referred to as “the most beautiful casino in the world” by Marlene Dietrich.
For the golf aficionados I highly recommend trying out any of our eight champion golf courses, located in Baden-Baden or within a radius of 45 miles from town.
