Museum Küppersmühle

Modern art in the grain silo: this is what the Küppersmühle Museum offers, right on Duisburg's Inner Harbour. As one of the cultural highlights of Duisburg, the museum is compelling with its exhibitions of internationally significant art, and a building that represents both the industrial heritage and the economic restructuring of the Ruhr Area.
Over an area of around 3,600 square metres of exhibition space, the Küppersmühle Museum displays exhibits from such famous artists as Immendorf, Richter and Beuys, and gets the hearts of art enthusiasts pumping. The Küppersmühle Museum is currently being expanded, and a glass "Container" is being added to the silo of the building. In the newly obtained exhibition space, the extensive collection of Sylvia and Ulrich Ströher will have a suitable setting to be displayed from the middle of 2011 onwards.

Duisburg
The rivers Rhine and Ruhr, the Rhine-Herne canal, one of the largest inland harbours in the world, the Six Lakes, Lake Toepper and Lake Uettelsheim... The list of all the waters which give Duisburg its maritime atmosphere could be extended at will. It’s no wonder that there is so much going on in and around the water in Duisburg. Regular tours of the harbour, two water-ski courses, boat hire facilities, several yachting and sailing clubs, countless angling clubs and the yachting marina in the inner harbour can easily mislead visitors into thinking that Duisburg is situated on the water’s edge and not inland.
