Café – Fridericianum
Café
Welcome to the CAFÉ AT THE FRIDERICIANUM — the central meeting place surrounded by art!
OPENING HOURS
The café is open all year round, even between exhibitions.
The regular opening hours currently apply: from Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm and Thursday from 11 am to 8 pm. On public holidays from 11 am to 6 pm.
INTERIOR SPACE
The café at the Fridericianum owes its unique design to the site-specific intervention
MIMIKRY
by Kerstin Brätsch. The artist developed the installation especially for the rotunda in the center of the Kunsthalle. It directly follows the café designs that Brätsch realized for the
Museum of Modern Art
in New York in 2019 as well as the
LUMA Foundation
in Arles in 2021. The colorful tables, curtains, and wallpapers depicting dinosaurs speak not only to the little ones, but also to grown-up art lovers. Kids can also cozy up in the dino reading nook.
