Interior of the salon in the Bundeskunsthalle

Read the newspaper in peace, take a lunch break with friends or colleagues, reflect on the exhibition visit or just relax. The room designed by chmara.rosinke/OFIS invites you to linger and is open to everyone – visitors and neighbors, clubs and colleagues. The stay is free of charge. Current daily newspapers and books from the library complement the room's furnishings. The time in the salon can be freely organized according to one's own wishes.
