Von der Heydt Museum

The museum occupies a neoclassical building that served as the former city hall of Elberfeld, featuring multiple exhibition spaces across several floors.

The municipal museum opened in 1902 and received its current name in 1961 to honor the Von der Heydt family of patrons and collectors.

The collection contains works from the 17th century through contemporary times, including paintings by Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, and Paul Gauguin.

The museum remains closed on Mondays but welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours until 20:00 on Thursdays.

The museum houses a notable collection of Dutch paintings from the 17th century alongside an extensive array of 19th and 20th-century artworks.
