Museum Küppersmühle
Museum Küppersmühle, Art museum in Duisburg, Germany.
Museum Küppersmühle is an art museum housed in a former grain storage building near Duisburg's harbor and displays modern works across multiple levels. The converted industrial structure blends the original architecture with new gallery spaces and offers views over the Ruhr region.
The building served as a grain mill for over a century until operations stopped in 1972, after which it remained unused. Swiss architects transformed it into a museum in the late 1990s, opening to the public in 1999.
The collection focuses on German artists after World War II, and visitors encounter works by names like Georg Baselitz and Gerhard Richter throughout the galleries. The selection gives a sense of how German creators responded and worked during the postwar period.
The museum is open several days a week, and people with mobility needs can access all areas since the entire building is wheelchair accessible. It helps to check opening hours in advance and allow enough time to explore the galleries.
The red brick facade and original grain silos were deliberately kept during renovation while modern galleries and elevated viewing platforms were added inside. This blend of old industrial structure with new spaces creates a distinctive setting as visitors move through the exhibitions.
