Baden-Baden. It is a very hot day today; with temperatures topping 35°C, you might be wondering what to do. Have you been meaning to visit a museum or a specific exhibition again? Now is the perfect time! I’m going today and tomorrow, too! It reminds me of a time back when I said to a gallerist friend from Munich named Georg—a veteran of the Bavarian art trade—"I’m off to the museum now!" He laughed out loud and spontaneously replied, "You’re not that old yet!" It still makes me laugh today! And whenever I step into a museum, I think of our old friend Georg... Right around midday here in Baden-Baden—just as in Munich and across the country—outdoor temperatures soar. And what could be better than an air-conditioned interior that also offers a cultural respite? Baden-Baden has several museums where you won't feel a thing of the 35°C heat outside.
