    Nice, historic place. Just went for a coffee - nothing special, service a bit tardy but not bad. The fresh mint tea had a lot of leaves, so worth the money. The cakes we saw at the table next to us seemed not to be self/home made. In any case, a cool location to kick back and enjoy a book.

    We visited to see Wonderwalls, which was an amazing exhibition. Cafe and shop were pretty good, but expect a little wait if it's busy.

    Really enjoyed the Wonderwalls exhibit. Quite provocative. Fairey posters were amazing. It is quite a small exhibition though, basically just two rooms, so felt quite short in terms of a museum visit. Unfortunately, ground staff were a bit rude and abrupt. Honestly don't see how having my tiny designer handbag on my back versus my shoulder makes a difference. It's not a backpack. And he was so rude when he was telling me to take it off my back.

    While I can appreciate art galleries, this one stood out to me for not pleasant reasons. The building unfortunately is not big enough to house internationally famous artists witch creates lines out of the door around the building. And the waiting room/cafe has unique but quite uncomfortable seating. Otherwise it’s a big space to house and display great art.

    Nice place & building. We went there for the exhibition and spent 2 hours. Mostly contemporary art. Price a little bit expensive 8€/adult. Lockers at disposal to let your coat and stuff. You can enjoy a drink or desserts in the restaurant. Staff friendly and helpful

    Great place for art lovers! Art haters might still like the cafeteria and the proximity to the Rhine, so there's really no excuse.

    The NRW Forum at Ehrenhof shows changing exhibitions that mainly focus on the topics of photography, pop and digital culture. Most recently, I visited the “Wonderwalls” exhibition, which shows over 2,000 works of street art and pop art (including Banksy, Shepard Fairey) – a really great exhibition for anyone interested in street art and modern urban art! I particularly liked the collection of OBEY's works. Always worth a visit. The indoor café is also recommended.

  • 4/5 Seimen B. 1 year ago on Google • 518 reviews
    Like with all museums your like or dislike depends very much on your own taste and which exhibitions are currently on. My idea is that you just immerse yourself in art and see what comes of it Visiting this museum is not different. Just wonder through the spacious galleries and see what comes of it

  • 4/5 Moritz E. 5 years ago on Google • 391 reviews
    I've been here once for Böhmermann's exhibition. He is a crazy German comedian slash porvocateur slash polictical "activist" - for a lack of a better word in my vocabulary. It was really weird and quite cool. The gift shop has a quite impressive collection of art books, so make sure to check that out as well, buy a book and sit down for a coffee in the café in the building.

  • 5/5 Bernhard G. 7 months ago on Google • 293 reviews
    One of the main reasons to visit Düsseldorf from Bonn. The presentation of the Lindbergh exhibition at that time was already worth seeing. The rooms offer space for a good representation of the exhibitions. Of course, art is always in the eyes of the beholder. The current exhibition “Beyond FAME” is a bit “out there” for some celebrities when it comes to art, but it’s good to expand your artistic horizons with this piece of the mosaic. Then, to let the impressions sink in - a Capuchino with a selected cake from the counter - friendly service from the staff of the integrated in-house café.

    A great exhibition by Tim Berresheim and before that we had a delicious meal at Pong.

  • 5/5 Leni D. 3 months ago on Google • 122 reviews New
    Super interesting and varied exhibition “Behind the fame”! Extraordinary art with humor! It's worth it!

  • 5/5 Marc S. 1 year ago on Google • 110 reviews
    Nice pop art and toys exhibition. It's best to go there in the morning on a Sunday or in the evening. Alternatively on another day. Around 2:20 p.m. it was packed on a Sunday. The entrance was not perfectly solved. Despite having tickets, you had to stand in line like all other visitors. There is probably only one ticket scanner. Extremely inconvenient. Separation should be made here. Otherwise very nice employees and friendly security!

  • 4/5 Lars W. 2 months ago on Google • 105 reviews New
    Great exhibition by Tim Berresheim. Highly recommended. The location itself doesn't have a proper wardrobe, which is a real nuisance.

    A highlight for art lovers and people who want to discover something new in life. The alternating exhibitions always offer something new to marvel at. In addition to classic topics, there are many current topics that concern our society. What you shouldn't forget is that you can also have a delicious meal or drink a coffee there.

  • 5/5 Nathaniel L. 1 year ago on Google • 26 reviews
    This exhibit was exactly the kind of contemporary art I really like. This was an excellent showcase of how American hip hop culture has diffused across the world and how different artists interpret street art.

  • 5/5 Pambos 9. 8 months ago on Google • 26 reviews
    I have been there on Tuesday.Not a lot of people .Its nice there are a lot of art you can see.For this kind of museum you have to be art lover and interest .Even if I am not art lover and only spend 30 minutes there my rate is high.

  • 3/5 liam k. 1 year ago on Google
    Full of plastic toys at the moment. Don’t think it’s worth the 9 euro entry fee. You can see more interesting stuff in a toy shop for free.

    (Translated by Google) I expected more, but that's how it is. Especially the "old" cinema room is no longer convincing because of the vandalism. But otherwise, as always, professionally set up and there was a lot to touch, four stars. (Original) Hatte mir mehr erwartet, aber so ist das. Vor allem der "olle" Kinoraum überzeugt des Vandalismus wegen nicht mehr. Aber sonst wie immer professionell aufgebaut und da einiges zum anfassen da war, noch vier Sterne.
