Max Ernst Museum

The Max Ernst Museum in Brühl houses paintings, sculptures, collages, and graphic works from different phases of the artist's career. The collection shows how the artist's methods changed and developed over time.

The museum was founded in 2005 and was the first institution worldwide dedicated entirely to one artist's work. The building itself is a cultural monument with historical importance for the North Rhine-Westphalia region.

The artist's name and legacy define this place, with works demonstrating experimental techniques that blend surrealism and dada together. Visitors can discover the artistic methods that Ernst developed across decades.

The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday and is located at Comesstraße 42 in a central location. Visitors should know that admission is free on certain Thursdays and the grounds are easily accessible on foot.

The building was recognized as a cultural monument and is managed by a regional organization that also oversees other historical sites in the area. This connection with other monuments makes it part of a larger network of cultural places in the region.
