| Discussion | Abteiburg Museum Commentary
"The division of the museum into variously-designed bodies convincingly integrates the complex into its small-scale urban environment and is orientated towards the incline of the former monastery garden, whose gently curving terraces rise above the underground sections of the building. Visitors walk across the roof to reach the prominent glass pavilion. White marble and glittering chrome pillars transform this small building into a powerful point of attraction." — Peter Gossel and Gabriele Leuthauser. Architecture in the Twentieth Century. p388. | |||||
