With sufficient funds in hand to proceed with the remodel, Wahnfried is undergoing a huge facelift. Upgrades will include elevators and climate control to protect the precious artifacts. Exhibits will be temporarily moved to the Siegfried Wagner House.  The work on the first floor of Wahnfried is expected to be complete in time for the Festival. A special exhibit on King Ludwig II and his impact on Bayreuth will be featured.

The project is expected to be complete by 2015.
