Numerous works of art by contemporary artists can be found in the public space in Burghausen: from outdoor sculptures to paintings and sensitive works of art in publicly accessible buildings such as the town hall.

The city of Burghausen lives art and pays special attention to art in public space. The city acquires some of the works of art that it shows in the castle, in the old town or on the border bridges. Sometimes she borrows the works of art for a certain period of time.
