23.08.2010

Drees & Sommer undertakes preliminary review and jury management

More than 30 years after the opening of the Richard Wagner Museum in Villa Wahnfried in Bayreuth, a renovation and new building are planned. The City of Bayreuth is currently advertising an international architectural competition for the new building and has commissioned Drees & Sommer to undertake both the preliminary review and management of the jury.

In September 2010, the experts will examine 24 designs for the new building. The jury will then meet in Villa Wahnfried - Richard Wagner's former residence - on October 7 and 8, 2010. The new museum is scheduled to open on schedule for Wagner Year 2013.
