Art showed is truly modern (21st century, got it?) And rooms are dedicated to a huge range of different artists. This eclectic concept plus room in the basement for bigger expositions make this museum a good example of its kind. Not to talk of the tomas saraceno installation which can be entered (right.) Until end of 2014.

You can always take a break and lounge on the clear plastic orbs. Afterwards, come back to earth and visit the crazy spider exhibit: intricate webs are suspended from sheet glass. A guard is positioned in the room that visitors don't sneak in a can or two of Raid. Another exhibit featured rows of suspended fabric for the visitor to weave in and out of. After winding through, be rewarded with a highly unusual film short. This museum doesn't have as much art as the sister museum, K20, but it's well worth a visit. We were there in January and it wasn't busy- only a few minute wait to go up "In Orbit" The building is beautiful and spacious; we didn't even see the entire museum but would consider returning next time in Düsseldorf. Quite a few of the exhibits are admittedly unusual but it's still and enjoyable way to spend an afternoon doing something a bit out of the ordinary- especially if you've got painting and sculpture overload.

"Captivate!" is curated by German supermodel Claudia Schiffer who is a native of the North Thine-Westphalia district making the Düsseldorf Kunstpalast a good choice. The exhibit takes us through the golden age of fashion and supermodels. Photographs, more photographs, some memorabilia and lots of captions in both German and English. I enjoyed it but would like to have seen more art. If there's more going on here, we couldn't find it. [Review 16376 overall - 181 in Germany - 1883 of 2021.]

This is an underground excavation of the governor's residence, and if you're a fan of ancient history then it's worth the €3,50. For that matter, even if you're not a huge history fan, it's a unique feature of Cologne and probably worth it. There is only one small room of displays, and they are almost all in German, but they appear to be quite professionally done. There is also a stretch of Roman sewer tunnel you can walk though; while interesting there aren't any displays or anything in it, it's just a long hallway. The ruins themselves are in a huge room with a walkway running around and through it. The signs in this area are in both German and English. Not someplace you should expect to spend hours, but if you like this stuff you should probably upgrade to the €10 ticket that includes admission to the Romisch Germanische Museum (next to the cathedral) that has a lot more displays.

The praetorium was the residencs of the roman proconsul in Köln (…read moreCOLONIA CLAVDIA ARA AGRIPPINENSIVM). It was the military and civil administration department of the roman province "Niedergermanien". Today you can look at the ruins that are located under a house in the " Kleine Budengasse". Probably that is only interesting for people who are interested in roman history and/or archaeology. I think all other people can save the EUR 2,50 for the entry...

It is a very large museum and you can expect to spend two hours quietly walking through the galleries and enjoying the paintings, sculptures and furniture. I felt the galleries were nicely laid out and the art not too crowded. Many/most of the captions were in German and English. They have a free wifi so Google Translate to the rescue where needed. The exhibit on the history of the city of Düsseldorf was also interesting. This was fun! [Review 16378 overall - 183 in Germany - 1885 of 2021.]

So one of the reasons for coming to this museum at all, was that it was gratis with the Düsseldorf card. It's a massive collection over three floors and also fairly eclectic. You start downstairs, were the lockers and loos are and also there is a part of the city wall and then a modern day graffiti type sketch. Another whimsical thing to note was the banana graffiti at the entrance. I think the Curators have done a good job, but definitely for me the highlights were the Paleolithic and Early German (Frankish) jewelry collection as well as the 17th century books, ivory anatomy models and the gorgeous clothes from the 18th century. I wanted to check out some other museums, so only saw the 1st floor (have to leave something for next time). Overall, very glad that I came to check this one out, even tho' it wasn't my fave among the 4 museums I was able to visit over my Düsseldorf weekend visit. Yelp 245/ 2018

Such was the case here with interesting and unique pieces. One was the apple. As near as I can tell, this is titled "*" (yes, just asterisk) by artist Noriyuki Suzuki. It is an apple surrounded by an armillary sphere and it's watching the apple slowly deteriorate from all angles. "Between the Clouds" by artist A.A (no . after the second A) Murakami. It is a machine creating a fog patch and fog rings. Every few seconds, it inhales and blows a ring of fog. If you've ever seen someone smoking and blowing smoke rings, it's that. The toddler who was here at the same time as me seemed to enjoy poking the rings as they made their way across the exhibit room. Other exhibits defy description. You're just going to have to go to the NRW-Forum yourself and check it out. [Review 16377 overall - 182 in Germany - 1884 of 2021.]
