Art & culture

Be it art, architecture, theater, ballet or music - Düsseldorf plays in the top league internationally when it comes to culture. The density of museums in the Rhine metropolis is unparalleled, not only in Germany. The city is also peppered with top-class architecture - the Gehry buildings in the MedienHafen and the Kö-Bogen by Daniel Libeskind are two prominent examples.
