Excerpt:
...In 1996 Charlotte Zander established her museum with
over 3,500 pictures and sculptures in a baroque castle
in the Swabian village of Bonnigheim, near Stuttgart.
Visitors from all over the world flock to this little
place in the idyllic wine locality which houses the
world's largest collection of European naive art and
an impressive collection of art brut.
As in past centuries, the renovated baroque castle in
the medieval town centre has become a cultural focal
point. The elegant summer residence was built by the
imperial count Friedrich von Stadion in 1756. Two years
ago, the former Munich gallery owner Charlotte Zander
moved to the castle with her collection, which she began
45 years ago. Its 3,500 paintings, drawings and sculptures
are by 321 artists from 44 countries.
