• In Germany, priced in euros, since the campus sits just across the border in Weil am Rhein
• Exhibitions change twice a year in the Gehry building, so check the current show on the museum's site before you go
• Some buildings by tour only: the private factory side of the campus opens only on the guided Architecture Tour

The Vitra Design Museum sits in Frank Gehry's first building in Europe, a white sculpted block with four galleries that host two big design exhibitions a year. At the campus's south end, the Vitra Schaudepot shows about 400 key pieces of modern furniture design.

A 500-meter hedge-lined path links them, passing the Vitra Slide Tower: kids climb to a platform at 17 meters and ride a 38-meter corkscrew slide down.
