The Fridericianum is a museum in Kassel, Germany. Built in 1779, it is one of the oldest public museums in Europe.[1] Since 1955 the quinquennial art festival documenta has been centred on the site,[2] with some artworks displayed on Friedrichsplatz, in front of the building.[3]
The exhibition building itself was fully renovated by 1982. Ever since 1988, Fridericianum has continually hosted changing exhibitions of contemporary art. Since June 2013 Susanne Pfeffer has been director of the Fridericianum.
