91 years old, 21,000 works of art, 14 museums worldwide: The entrepreneur is opening his expanded art gallery in Schwäbisch Hall – and the Federal President is using the ceremonial event to issue a warning.
Reinhold Würth has opened a renovated and expanded museum in Schwäbisch Hall, showcasing his extensive art collection. The museum, which has been in operation for 25 years, has been extended by 600 square meters and now spans 3,200 square meters.
