Dating back to 1779, the Fridericianum is one of Europe’s oldest museums. The majestic building hosts important art exhibitions and temporary displays. Plan a visit the Fridericianum to browse the exhibits of contemporary pieces that line the walls of this large mansion full of galleries. Enter through the main portal and stroll along the halls to admire the rows of modern artworks. The exhibits tend to change every few months and have featured such topics as nature, architecture and political movements. Check for activities and guided tours of specific exhibitions for the additional context behind the works. Films, presentations and workshops for children also often take place in the museum. Browse the books linking the shelves of the Fridericianum Bookshop, where you’ll find some of the museum’s own publications. Attend the *Documenta* exhibition on contemporary art that takes place here once every 5 years. Consider the long and rich history of the museum building. The site was considered the world’s first purpose-built public museum when it was constructed at the end of the 18th century. It initially held a room for machinery and watches and another for cork models of Roman architectural designs. The site later served as a parliamentary building and then a library where the Brothers Grimm were employed. Hear how it was restored in the 1950s after being partially destroyed in World War II. The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from late morning until late afternoon. Buy admission tickets at the museum. Entry is free on Wednesdays. Find the Fridericianum in the heart of Kassel, in the center of Germany. Walk southeast for 10 minutes from the Kassel Station or travel via tram to the Friedrichsplatz for the museum. See some of the other sights in the area, such as the adjacent Staatstheater Kassel, the Naturkundemuseum and the Elisabeth Hospital. ## Plan a trip to see Fridericianum Price found within the past 48 hours.

No replacement of coffee pods or tea bags- very mean for a 4 star hotel. We slept ok but some may find train noisy outside our window.
