The Kunstmuseum Bonn or Bonn Museum of Modern Art was founded in 1947. Its new building, designed by the Berlin architect Axel Schultes and opened in 1992, is considered throughout Germany to be one of the most important examples of museum architecture in recent decades.
The present building has three entrances, symbolising openness. The design of the staircase has been described as a precise geometry, cut like jewellery. The conception of light brings the collection to life. The total exhibition area is around 4,000 square metres.
