Cologne
Art & Culture
Cologne owes this title "Mayor Art City", in contrast to many other major European cities, not to aristocratic art collectors but above all to the outstanding commitment to art of numerous ordinary citizens. Their collections today form the superb core of various museums, indeed, they were often the reason for founding the museums in the first place. Among the most important museums are the Wallraff-Richartz-Museum, the Museum of Romanesque Art, the Cologe City Museum as well as the spectacular Museum Ludwig, built in 1986. The museum houses a world-famous collection ranging from the Classical Modern period to American Pop Art to the latest contemporary trends. Visitors can also visit the fabulous Cologne Chocolate Museum with it´s legendary Chocolate Fountain as well as Germany´s official Sports and Olympics Museum, both located directly on the Rhie river embankment in the brand new city quater Rheinauhafen.
