The Museum of Modern Literature, the Literaturmuseum der Moderne, stands in Marbach am Neckar. David Chipperfield designed it for the German Archive of Literature and the Schiller National Museum Directorate. The infobox gives completion as June 6, 2006, and the text says it opened in September 2006. The cost was 10 million euros. The article gives no style. Minimalism is an assumption based on Chipperfield's restrained work.
The museum is built on a rock plateau in Marbach's park, overlooking the Neckar River valley. Leonard Weiss GmbH built it, with engineering by Ingenieurgruppe Bauen. It displays and archives 20th-century literature, including the original manuscripts of Franz Kafka's The Trial and Alfred Döblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz.
Chipperfield won the Stirling Prize in 2007 for this museum. The article gives no hours or ticket prices.
