- Notes: I arrived at Freiburg's Museum of Modern Art and was grateful for the guide who showed me around. Curious about the museum's history, I asked how it came into being. The guide informed me that in the mid-1980s, the collection of 20th and 21st-century art was moved from Augustiner Museum to the current building, an old girls' school that used to be part of a nun cloister. As we walked through the museum, I couldn't help but notice the empty wall space, which served as a poignant reminder of the toll World War II took on the art and cultural treasures. The guide shared that half of the collection was taken away by the Nazis, and although they are in a data bank, they haven't been found yet. I admired the museum's permanent collection, particularly the celebrated German artists.
