The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen spans three locations: K20, K21, and Schmela Haus, offering over 10,000 square meters of exhibition space for modern art.
The museum foundation started in 1961 with the acquisition of 88 Paul Klee artworks from Pittsburgh steel manufacturer G. David Thompson's collection.
The permanent collection presents classical modernism through works by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian, and an extensive selection of Paul Klee pieces.
The museum complex includes wheelchair accessible facilities, digital guides, regular guided tours, and special exhibitions throughout its three connected buildings.
The K21 building, located in the former North Rhine-Westphalia Parliament building, features dedicated artist rooms and large installations from contemporary creators.

Düsseldorf offers photographers a diverse range of settings that blend centuries of history with contemporary urban design. From the pink Rococo facade of Benrath Palace and the medieval ruins of Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth to the bold modern structures of MedienHafen designed by internationally recognized architects, the city presents countless opportunities to capture compelling images. The contrast between old and new appears throughout Düsseldorf, whether you're photographing the historic gravestones at Alter Golzheimer Friedhof, the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, or the sleek observation deck of the Rheinturm rising 551 feet (168 meters) above the Rhine. The city's green spaces add another dimension to your photography, with the 173-acre (70-hectare) Hofgarten providing tree-lined paths and open meadows, while Nordpark showcases formal Japanese gardens and seasonal flowerbeds. Along Königsallee, a tree-lined canal creates natural reflections that complement the surrounding storefronts and architecture. Whether you're interested in architectural details, natural settings, or urban landscapes, Düsseldorf's varied locations work equally well in morning light, afternoon sun, or after dark when building illumination transforms the cityscape into a different visual experience altogether.
