Monuments and Museums : Emblems of Dusseldorf
Düsseldorf is quite different from Munich and Berlin. The city is not only impressive, but it also carries a certain aura that has never been duplicated anywhere. Dusseldorf is the cradle of art. The post-war industrial city carries more than the sensation of art as seen in its monuments and museums. With influences from both art and war, here are some of the breathtaking museums and monuments.
The City Monument
The renowned artist,
Bert Gerresheim created this monument decades ago. The iconic monument provides a comprehensive kaleidoscope of the historical aspects that make Düsseldorf. The monument provides an awe-inspiring view of Nikolaus IV raising St. Lambertus Church, a market scene, the battle of Worringen, and a figure of the apocalyptic horse riders.
Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen Museum
The museum is both educational and entertaining, providing some of the most unforgettable historical artefacts of Düsseldorf. The museum is open from Tuesday through to Sunday, and even on holidays.
Its exhibits are classified into K21 and K20 categories. Picasso, Ritcher, Klee and Warhol are some of the artists whose work forms part of the exhibits.
