The 10 Best Specialty 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.

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!

We didn't think we would enter or like the museum, because none of us knows much about film. We are so glad that we came and checked things out! The museum has 4 floors, and each floor has distinct themes. I highly recommend the animation, light art, and 3D sections of the museum. They are very informative and more importantly fun! Three of us, all adults, learned and played with the blue screen techniques for at least 10 minutes! Different perspectives are made and shown in movies, and we finally came to know how they are done on set. If you have children, don't miss this spot. It's a great parent-child bonding space, where all can explore the world of movies, learning the history and technologies. Admission is €5 per person but free with Düsseldorf card. Come check it out! Lockers are available for €1 one-time use in the basement of the museum. It does get warm inside, and putting coats and backpacks away is recommended.
