The 10 Best Museums in Dusseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia
The capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, Dusseldorf is a regional economic powerhouse straddling the banks of the Rhine River. Altstadt is not just Dusseldorf's lovely old town, but also where the city's nightlife is based and where Altbier, its native dark beer, is plentiful. Dusselforfians take their beer seriously. Königsallee (Ko to the locals), Dusseldorf's famous shopping street, has many high-end stores. And the Museum Kunst Palast has one of the Rhineland's best art collections.

In 1961, the Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia acquired altogether 88 works by Paul Klee, which form the foundation of the museum’s collection. Celebrated in 1986 was the inauguration of the newly-constructed building of the Kunstsammlung am Grabbeplatz, with its characteristic black granite façade. Working in the tradition of Arne Jacobsen, the Copenhagen architectural office of a Dissing + Weitling created a noble, restrained building whose detailing is typical of the period, and which yielded primacy to the outstanding works of art on display. Inaugurated in July 2010 together with the reopening of the totally renovated existing building is an additional exhibition area measuring 2000 m², which features state-of-the-art exhibition technology and takes the form of two pillar-free exhibition halls – thereby bringing the total surface area to 5000 m².

We visited for a particular exhibition which was great. After that we took a trip around the permanent exhibition which is truly wonderful; assuming you like modern art of course. We didn't even get to see everything on show as we ran out of time. For instance, I didn't see a single Paul Klee, for which the museum is famous... But if you want to wander through all the various movements, trends, groups and collectives of the last 120 years then K-20 and K-21 are a good place to go. All the top names are present; you won't be disappointed.

My husband used to collect and buy and sell Dutch and Chinese ceramics so I had a good guide. I learned to love them even more via this delightful museum! Free on Sunday (? Last Sunday of month) was also a nice surprise. Allow 1-2 hours: has everything! From Antiquity to Modern! What a gift in this Corona pandemic time when many museums have been closed. Thank you to the Foundation who supports this treasure!!

This free documentation center contains information about the experience of Düsseldorf residents during the second world war. What makes the center different from others is that personal experiences and not general events were described. I think that school visits to this documentation center should mandatory for all teenagers from Düsseldorf and from neighboring towns so that they will learn what populist political parties can lead to and so that "never again" will be more than a hollow slogan.

We had a great time at Classic Remise Düsseldorf and it's a must-see for classic car enthusiasts. We enjoyed a really good, reasonably-priced lunch at the central restaurant (on the site of the old train turntable). The pizza was excellent and big, plenty for two and, of course, there's altbier. It's really fun to sit there among so many, varied and beautiful automobiles. We wandered for over an hour, fascinated. The variety is incredible, and it's fun to see the prices and descriptions on the cars for sale, take in the variety of stored cars, look down on active garages working on these beauties, and admire the interesting building. Free admission, free parking. Highly recommend!
