Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is an art museum located in the heart of Düsseldorf, Germany, and is regarded as one of the most significant art collections in the country. Established in 1961, the collection began with works from Paul Klee and has since grown to encompass a diverse range of modern and contemporary art. The museum comprises three separate venues: K20 at Grabbeplatz, K21 in the Ständehaus, and F3 Schmela Haus. K20 houses a wide selection of post-World War II art, including pieces from movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and Minimalism. Notable artists include Picasso, Kandinsky, and Warhol. K21 focuses on contemporary works, providing a platform for newer artistic expressions and installations. Another highlight of the collection is the Schmela Haus, the first building in Germany designed by the renowned architect Aldo Rossi. The Kunstsammlung NRW offers educational programs, temporary exhibitions, and events that make it a vibrant part of Düsseldorf's cultural scene. With its expansive collection, the museum serves as a narrative of the progression of art, offering visitors insight into the evolution of artistic styles and ideas.
