Beautiful space and easy access, just 2 minutes walk from the famous Cologne Cathedral. You might need 3-4 hours to cover the whole 3 floors of the exhibition space. They also commit to sustainability and try to integrate it into many aspects-operation, program, and building. The museum restaurant is also very high quality. Absolutely love the time spent there

Excellent modern art collection in great architecture. We liked the cafe as well, it’s possible to have a drink and hop back into your visit. Terraces are great to catch a view over the dome and get some fresh air. Basement has changing collection. All together great place for a 3-4 hour visit, highly recommend.
