Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck, Contemporary art museum in Rolandseck, Germany
The Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck is an art museum in Remagen housed in two connected buildings: a protected railway station structure and a modern white construction by architect Richard Meier. Both sit directly on the Rhine and together create a space that blends historical and contemporary elements.
The railway station was built between 1856 and 1858 as a transfer point for Rhine river traffic. In the 1980s, the site was transformed into an art venue when architect Richard Meier added a modern extension that works alongside the original building.
The collection centers on works by Hans Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, artists whose creations define the space. The museum also houses historical paintings from the UNICEF Rau Collection, connecting visitors with art across different periods.
The museum sits directly on the Rhine and is easily reached from Remagen, with short walks connecting both buildings. The spaces are accessible for wheelchair users, and the outdoor area lets you experience art and nature together at your own pace.
The museum runs a separate art hall on the opposite bank of the Rhine, reachable by ferry. This connection across the river gives visitors an unexpected journey between exhibition spaces that turns the visit into something more than just viewing art indoors.
