Beautiful museum, small but fine art collection, informative information about Ratingen's city history and a great special exhibition. Unfortunately, you feel a bit harassed by the overzealous guards who follow the visitors every step of the way, which reduces the enjoyment of your stay.

We visited the FLOW exhibition by Evangelos Papadopoulos. A spatial installation/intervention. The museum surprises with carefully curated exhibitions of modern art. There is a parking space at the building (free for 1 hour). In the immediately adjacent old town/city center you will find cafés and bars where you can take a break. Worth a visit!

After 50 years in Ratingen, an extremely nice lady gave us details of Ratingen's history on a guided tour that we actually didn't know yet. Terrific! What was missing in the Hoffmann department: The Hoffmann Governor. The most beautiful moppet of its time.

Today, April 2, 2023, it was time to enjoy art again. The goal was the Kolata exhibition in Ratingen - free entry on Sundays. There are enough parking spaces in the area, although you will probably have to use the parking spaces on weekdays. The building has a welcoming impression and the exhibition areas are spacious and bright. The truly impressive works of the artist Kolata are currently on display on the ground floor, whose colorful contemporary acrylic works will take the connoisseur's breath away. Only those who work with acrylic paints can appreciate the craftsmanship, imagination and skill with which the master has created his oevre. Strange that this beautiful exhibition was only mentioned in a side note by WDR. In the upper exhibition area, numerous works by the contemporary artist Stieding are currently being presented, who has dedicated himself to oil paint as a working material and - unlike Kolata - does not create abstract color compositions but instead turns to objective motifs. My conclusion: definitely visit!!!

Already the 2nd. Very well done exhibition. And I was able to learn a lot about Ratingen in the permanent exhibition. Very nice exhibition rooms. Definitely worth a visit

Quite small and manageable. The various exhibitions were put together with love and expertise. All this for an unbeatably cheap entrance fee. With the friendly and helpful staff that I was able to experience there, this is a 5 star vote for a small but fine museum.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately we didn't have time. To see the museum. Works council meetings have priority. Everything looks very nice. Good service. Attentive and personable staff (Original) Leider keine Zeit gehabt. Das Museum anzuschauen. Betriebsratssitzungen haben Vorrang. Sieht alles sehr schön aus. Guter Service. Aufmerksames Personal und sympathisch

What a wonderful discovery: The Ratingen Museum with an exhibition from the Oehmen Collection. An architecturally very beautiful house, a well-presented exhibition, a highly knowledgeable, inspiring and very friendly tour. The museum and its nice employees deserve more than a “lunch break”. The trip from Düsseldorf was worth it!

(Translated by Google) Ratingers and tourists interested in culture should take the time to see the town history exhibition. (Original) Für die stadtgeschichtliche Ausstellung sollte sich an Kultur interessierte Ratinger und Tourist Zeit nehmen.

Very nice museum, and bigger than expected

A nice museum with great exhibitions. A parking lot (chargeable) is right next door.

Very nice place, free on Sundays, good for visiting with kids as well

Interesting things to learn

(Translated by Google) A lot of modern art in constantly changing special exhibitions. The affiliated exhibition area with the collection of porcelain figures is also worth seeing. (Original) Viel moderne Kunst in dauernd wechselnden Sonderausstellungen.Der angegliederte Ausstellungsbereich mit der Sammlung von Porzellanfiguren ist auch sehenswert.

(Translated by Google) We spent a lovely afternoon here. Little Lego fans have a lot of fun here and the 4D cinema is also great. We had reserved the tickets in advance and there was no waiting time. However, I would advise against parking in one of the CentrO car parks on an Advent weekend. We stood in the parking garage for 1 hour when we exited. (Original) Wir haben einen schönen Nachmittag hier verbracht. Kleine Lego Fans haben hier viel Spaß und das 4D Kino ist auch Klasse. Die Karten hatten wir vorab reserviert und keinerlei Wartezeit. Jedoch würde ich davon abraten an einem Adventswochenende in einem der CentrO Parkhäuser zu parken. Wir haben bei der Ausfahrt 1 Stunde im Parkhaus gestanden.

(Translated by Google) Small but fine museum. Recommended. (Original) Kleines aber feines Museum. Empfehlenswert.
