Art museumsHigh-calibre with history

Art is high on the agenda for your next holiday in North Rhine-Westphalia! Even in more rural regions, this cultural state offers the opportunity to discover fabulous paintings, prints and sculptures in internationally renowned museums. Wealthy and art-loving citizens have given cities such as Krefeld, Siegen and Düren unique collections of expressionism, classical modernism and exciting contemporary art. The exhibition venues are often works of art in their own right and boast spectacular museum architecture. For example in Mönchengladbach or Herford. If you like, you can even perfectly complement an art trip here with a visit to a former Benedictine abbey or a historic town centre, for example.
