Beautiful museum and surrounding!

Excellent Düsseldorf art gallery in a brilliant building. We went primarily to see the Jenny Holzer exhibition which was outstanding. But there was lots of other very interesting work there. Plus of course the public wandering around on nets 4 stories up!!

Too many audio and video exibits which I personally wouldn't sit and watch for hours. Don't be weirded out by the staff, they walk with you and watch you closely. If you do visit, get a combined ticket with K20 ymto get better value.

(Translated by Google) The museum is housed in a very beautiful building on the Schwanenspiegel and mainly exhibits installations of contemporary art. It is a very interesting and versatile museum in the heart of Düsseldorf. There are exhibitions of contemporary art at different times. I always like to visit an exhibition there if my time allows. (Original) Das Museum ist in einem sehr schönen Gebäude am Schwanenspiegel untergebracht und stellt hauptsächlich Installationen der gegenwärtigen Kunst aus. Es ist ein sehr Interessantes und vielseitiges Museum im Herzen von Düsseldorf. Es finden Ausstellungen für zeitgenössische Kunst zu verschiedenen Zeiten statt. Ich gehe dort immer gerne mal wieder eine Ausstellung besuchen, sofern es meine Zeit zulässt.

(Translated by Google) As is well known, art can be argued ... here there is plenty of space to display art objects, free cloakroom etc. worth a visit. (Original) Über Kunst lässt sich bekanntlich streiten... hier gibt es reichlich Raum zur Ausstellung von Kunstobjekten, kostenlose Garderobe etc. einen Besuch wert.

Very few pieces on display and hard to understand the ones were displayed. Not to mention some rooms are closed due to renovations… considering the entrance price.. not worth the money, the only ‘worth’ the view was the 4th floor. The surroundings (outside) are worth to take a look though, like for a stroll on a sunny day (which is free haha). Such a waste of this building..

Today I randomly decided to visit Kunstsammlung as a tourist from San Francisco, but my order is wrong, I recommend you reverse my order. First of all I have to say, 4th floor already blow my mind, I imagine buy a drink, and take my wine glasses walk all over the museum. But as a tourist from San Francisco I indeed don't know the law regulations more than you do. Just a suggestions, I think you can bring more hip people here, starting from one day only every week. I visited the museum with a bit serious mood, because there are so many staff watching us, and it's modern art, I was here because of the buildings and the architecture, I don't consider myself understanding art that much. So here is my suggestion, go to 1st floor cafe Lemonpie first, get a glass of Riesling and an apple pie ( this is really great combination) and make yourself a bit tipsy later you starting the museum tour with even better mood. I guarantee you will have a 5 stars review if you do this order.

Amazing building with impressive design. Happy to see Issac Julien collection. Roof top trip was fun and not too crowded on a weekend! Would definitely visit again for other exhibitions in future!

Unfortunately very disappointing collection (perhaps just unlucky with the ones during our visit). Net-climbing that you can see on the photos is for extra price. In my opinion K20 is much more interesting and solid.

Love the exhibition „in orbit“. Sadly the 1st and 2nd floor where closed but I bet the experience would be even better when there are more exhibitions to take a look at!

(Translated by Google) Interesting exhibit, but terrible exhibit staff. Super unfriendly and as soon as you enter every room you have the feeling of doing something wrong. The interaction among the employees also seemed to be very distant and unfriendly. All in all, a very toxic atmosphere in a nice museum. (Original) Interessante Ausstellung, allerdings schreckliches Ausstellungspersonal. Super unfreundlich und bereits beim Betreten eines jeden Raums hat man das Gefühl etwas falsches zu tun. Auch die Interaktion unter den Mitarbeitern schien sehr distanziert und unkollegial zu sein. Alles in allem eine sehr toxische Atmosphäre in einem schönen Museum.

Wonderful building with a nice and diverse collection of art pieces. The building alone is already with the visit.

Very fun and interactive! The staff is super friendly to foreigners and all the exhibitions are exciting and fun. My boyfriend is not much of an art museum fan and we both had so much fun!

I am happy to help you write a review for a modern gallery. Here's a sample review: The modern gallery I visited was a breathtaking experience. As soon as I walked in, I was struck by the stunning works of art on display. The gallery had a great collection of contemporary art, featuring some of the most talented artists of our time. The space itself was clean, well-lit, and spacious, which allowed me to fully appreciate each piece of art. The gallery staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and they were happy to answer any questions I had about the art on display. The variety of artworks on display was impressive, ranging from paintings to sculptures and installations. Each piece of art had its own unique style and message, which made for a thought-provoking and inspiring experience. What I appreciated most about this modern gallery was its commitment to showcasing diverse and innovative artists. The gallery was not afraid to take risks with its art choices, and it paid off in creating a dynamic and engaging exhibition. Overall, I highly recommend this modern gallery to anyone looking for a unique and memorable art experience. The quality and diversity of the art on display, combined with the welcoming and knowledgeable staff, made for a truly exceptional visit.

We wanted to visit the museum because of interactive exhibitions - especially climbing to the “in orbit” installation seemed very interesting. Unfortunately almost half of the exhibitions were closed. We couldn’t visit augmented reality room and U-floor. We could see “In orbit” but it wasn’t possible to climb. “free the air” was also unavailable.

A visit to k21 is definitely worth it, especially for the exhibition on the top floor. The museum offers a diverse and thought-provoking collection of art that will captivate and inspire you. The exhibition on the top floor is particularly noteworthy, showcasing incredible pieces that push the boundaries of artistic expression.

(Translated by Google) In itself it is really a very nice art collection with interesting exhibitions. I could have spent hours here had it not been for the staff that spoiled not only me but also many other people the visit. Very unfriendly and impolite and for no reason (Original) An sich ist es wirklich eine sehr schöne Kunstsammlung mit interessanten Ausstellungen. Ich hätte Stunden hier verbringen können wäre da nicht das Personal gewesen das nicht nur mir sondern auch vielen anderen Leuten den Besuch verdorben hat. Sehr unfreundlich und unhöflich und das noch ohne Grund

(Translated by Google) Art is what one finds beautiful ... But everyone has their own opinion (Original) Kunst ist das was einer schön findet... Aber jeder hat eine eigene Meinung

There's little to say about the museum. The aesthetics of the place are nice, the rooms are well sized which makes the works accessible. The collection is interesting and has some nice pictures, sculptures and other works. We were there at a quiet afternoon and were helped quite enthusiastically by the register in purchasing a ticket. On the other hand, I read a lot of reviews that complain about the staff, that they are unfriendly and strict. But I think it's all part of the experience. They guide you through the museum like they're driving a herd of cows. If you hang around a little you get stares. All they're telling you is: 'why are you hanging around here, there's nothing interesting to see.' One time we were felt followed by two of the staff. Its this kind of intimidation that's leaves a sour taste. When I come to a place where all the staff behaves like that, I begin to question the behaviour and attitude of the supervisor and management. It felt like there was a strict culture and the staff were not enjoying their work. This translates into the experience of the visitor. It not only makes you appreciate the art less, but it doesn't give you the headspace to let the work be meaningful. It makes it a draining and forgettable experience. This 5-star rating is to show that it has potential with the right mindset and expectations.

This is a small museum with lots of meaningful and spiritual stuff.

Really Amazing Experience. IN ORBIT.! Awesome!

Excellent building and surrounding space, remarkable collections, but the staff too strict and impersonal.

I liked the top two floors. Hereafter the quality of the art downgraded. Love the fact you could climb the top art display. Bit scary but can definitely recommend

(Translated by Google) We are employees of the art museum and are very happy to work there. Art can really make people think, see things differently, connect positively, above all learn and pass on education. We wish all employees, every department, remains HEALTHY MEHMET NALCA AND MARKUS BEHLING .. 🖐️ (Original) Wir sind Mitarbeiter vom Kunstmuseum, sind sehr froh da zu arbeiten.

Awful place not recommended to visit. We bought some water for 3 eu for our baby, and she can’t even drink it in corridor (she didn’t do it near the exhibits). Guards was very rude. Nothing interesting, not worth wasting your time

(Translated by Google) Beautiful (Original) Wunderschön

K21 is a nice museum situated in a beautiful hystorical building. With our group we had a (Dutch) tourguide, who was very patient with us. She took the time the explain several art pieces. At the end of the tour we got to experience the artpiece 'In Orbit' by Tomás Saraceno. The fact that you're walking 25 to 28m above the ground is really incredible. If you are in Düsseldorf this is a must do!

Great museum. You have to climb the stairs in the tower

Didn't get to visit the exhibit. But the main atrium is worth a visit.

Visited here and saw an exhibition, the building itself is amazing as is the art content inside. It cost around €14 to visit the exhibition. Well worth it though. There is a cloakroom to drop you stuff at while you meander about. On the top floor there netting suspended over the open atrium which you can go and climb on for a vertigo inducing activity. Overall, really glad I took the time to go there.

Each floor of the museum of modern art - gives unique impressions and captures the imagination! Definitely recommend!

It is a great art museum that has many artworks, including installations. There is one installation on the 4th floor that you can walk on and experience it. This museum was one of the best parts of my dusseldorf trip.

The net-climbing was the highlight of the museum for me. The entrance to the net is quite steep, which makes it a little scary. The embroidered tapestries were interesting to see.

A wonderful and thought provoking collection! Though the climbing is now closed due to malfunctions. A must visit for sure! ❄️

The building is really nice. The collection was not my type... Anyway if you have some time...

The exhibits made you question contemporary art. A lot of is is an assembly of disparate objects. The best part of the Wei Wei exhibition was actually the port hole into the lake which had nothing to do with his work. The Thomas Sarraceno installation was interesting, but again one is left to wonder is it art? The staff struggled to speak English and one of the security guards was quite aggressive, though the others were quite bemused by the exhibits themselves. The cafe is a really nice place to have a hote chocolate after so much questioning about the meaning of art. A real hot chocolate with no added sugar. The staff were also very pleasant.

Very abstract and vague.. There are probably people that can understand and appreciate what's being presented but not me..

Had a great time here as a tourist, it’s worth a visit

Amazing, very big and interesting museum. Exhibit with net on the last floor is awesome. Everybody definitely must visit it

Very few pieces in display taking into consideration the entrance price. An entire floor was closed. The 4th floor exhibition was also closed. Overall, the most underwhelming museum experience I have had. Highly suggest skipping it.

A well-balanced variety of selected pieces, both more modern interactive and technical pieces to more traditional expressions such as paintings and photography. Perfect for a rainy day! It would have been 5 stars if it wasn't for the half-cold and blunt Quiche Lorraine served in the restaurant.

very nice and interesting museum but very bad organisation to go in Tomas Saraceno. We had to wait more than one hour !! It’s a pitty because good management can resolve the problem.

The place was entertaining enough if you're looking to pass some time. STAFF WAS WEIRD: - When purchasing my entry ticket the receptionist asked me if I was a student. I happily replied yes and showed him my university card. He kept asking me questions if this is a valid card, and if I was a legit student. He asked for my ID to confirm that this card belonged to me. He went to uncomfortable lengths. Dealing with him was such an unpleasant experience. I wonder if they do this to all of their clients or only because I looked a certain way? - Everywhere you go there is always a security following you. I don't know if its their policy or I looked sketchy to them? In summary, they will make you feel very unwelcome, but the collection of art there is interesting but not plentiful.

Nice art gallery with a possibility to play a bit in the net upstairs.

Important place on Düsseldorf art map. Exhibitions are wisely set in an interesting interior. "Spheres" installation on the top is unforgettable.

Nice modern museum.

Love the "in orbit" area of them! A fun activity after seeing all the exhibitions. Clear description, good organization, the staffs literally followed behind our back everywhere we went. not sure if it was for security reason or something else

It is a very pretty museum. Most exhibitions just did not really speak to me. There were some cool ones though. We wanted to try the “in orbit”- interactive art and we waited for more than an hour in line.

I'm not a huge fan of modern art but the last floor has a cool VR experience and a net to walk over the void called "in orbit". They give you shoes and clothes to walk and lie around

Just like every contemporary art museum, it's full of surprises!

Interesting museum. We couldn’t get on the net, because there weren’t no more suits available..

Amazing contemporary art museum. Relevant. And I love that they always present more than one work by every artist. In Orbit is by far the best permanent installation in a museum. Must visit if you’d ask me.

The exhibition upstairs is great. Other than that, the other parts of the museum obviously did not attract my attention, but it is worth the money, thank you.

Just for the "In Orbit" experience alone, I give this museum five stars; modern art museum with exhibits that frequently change. Obviously depending on the exhibit, the museum can be hit-or-miss. However, In Orbit is always there, and such an amazing experience—I highly recommend going on a week day, where it is most likely to be empty. I got to go on the entire thing by myself, and it was exhilarating!!

Very interesting and diverse exhibition. Crazy experience to walk in the metal net and definitely worth it.

Great museum, thumbs up to the Isaac Julien exposition and the height activity !

Really good place but close because of Covid 19

(Translated by Google) It was so good! I grabbed me one day and went to both of them with a K20 K21 all day pass. I tend to watch slowly, but it was hard to jump ㅠㅠ both because there are so many things to see... (Original) 너무 좋았어요! 저는 하루 날잡고 K20 K21 종일권 끊어서 둘다 다녀왔는데, 작품 감상 속도가 느리시면 따로 날잡아서 가는게 좋을듯 합니다! 저는 천천히 보는편인데 두탕 뛰느라 힘들었어요 ㅠㅠ 두군데 다 볼거리가 너무 많아서...

I visited K21 many times.if you live in the city you should purchase a museum kunst card to haVe regular free admission. To all museums. This is the most avante garde of all the Art museums in Duzseldorf. There is also a great unch restaurant. Great to meet up with friends and have a tour.

Really nice museum. With great exhibitions. You should really go to the top of the museum and go to "in orbit"

awesome Museum! the net on the top level is so cool!

The museum is near by a park, which gives a nice environment. Lots of works to see and mostly they have English introduction, which is foreigner-friendly.

It's a very nice place

Must visit while you are in Düsseldorf. Provides a different perspective of Art

It's just fantastic museum. Great art. Specially the net in the last floor where you can walk on it and see downstairs from a high point. I recommend it.

(Translated by Google) The K21 is a place of special art. The building alone is magnificent and dignified to be a house for art. (Original) Das K21 ist ein Ort der besonderen Kunst.Allein das Gebäude ist grossartig und würdevoll ein Haus für die Kunst zu sein.

It's a good experience, they have very unique pieces.

There are 2 museums: K20 and K21. K21 is more fun and innovative art museum. It consists of amazing architecture and modern contemporary art too. The section "orbit" is amazing. You get to experience high altitude walking inside a building. While K20 is more serious art. Meaning "art" art. It's for the thinkers and the real artists. Both are worth a visit. If you're a student you've 50 percent offer in entry. For both museums combined, it'd be 9 Euros.

I personally love art museums a lot but this one I don't get a lot of the arts, some are a bit hard to understand .... Maybe is my problem but the design of the architecture is still worth a look :) and the park in front of the museum is quite nice as well!

Very nice space and nice selection, but the route is a bit complicated, is easy to miss some interesting work.

I was there for the video and sculpture installations of Hito Steyerl. Everything was great. Excellent space and many good COVID safety precautions.

(Translated by Google) I particularly like the architecture of the building. From the outside, it looks more like an old house, dark and quirky. A beautiful small lake or pond with old trees is in front of the museum and invites you to linger. Depending on the weather conditions, the building becomes dark or old and impressive. The coolest thing is when you go in and you stand in a huge "hall". Everything is open and bright. MEGA. The roof is a glass dome and provides great light. I personally like the view. The staff is very helpful and friendly and answer all questions. The exhibitions are changing and a matter of taste. The orbit is currently blocked (Covid19). (Original) Mir gefällt besonders die Architektur des Gebäudes. Von Außen betrachtet wirkt es eher wie ein altes Haus, düster und schrullig. Ein schöner kleiner See oder Teich mit alten Baumbeständen sind vor dem Museum und laden ein zum Verweilen. Je nach Wetterlage wird das Gebäude düster oder aber alt und beeindruckend. Das coolste ist, wenn man rein geht und man in einem riesigen "Saal" steht. Alles ist offen und hell. MEGA. Das Dach ist eine Glaskuppel und sorgt für tolles Licht. Mir persönlich gefällt die Aussicht. Das Personal ist sehr hilfreich und freundlich und beantworten alle Fragen. Die Ausstellungen sind wechselnd und Geschmackssache. Das Orbit ist zur Zeit leider gesperrt (Covid19).

I adore everything about this place aside from the rather early closing time.

Great exhibitions until now. Each time I spend 1.5-2 hours to get seeing everything.

(Translated by Google) Well worth a visit (Original) Ein Besuch wert

(Translated by Google) .Well (Original) .gut

The exhibit was great but staff are extremely rude. As soon as you tell them that you don’t speak German they just ignore you and don’t even bother to translate what they’re saying to you

(Translated by Google) Very interesting exhibitions in a wonderful atmosphere (Original) Sehr interessante Ausstellungen in wunderbarem Ambiente

The venue is great. The art exhibitions are very interesting however the lack of explanation makes them hard to assess. Better organize for an accompanied visit.

(Translated by Google) Approx (Original) Ok

(Translated by Google) A very nice art collection that can also be interesting for younger generations. The only drawback, the staff. Very rude and cold. (Original) Eine sehr schöne Kunstsammlung, die auch für jüngere Generationen interessant sein kann. Einziges Manko, das Personal. Sehr unhöflich und kalt.

(Translated by Google) 4 stars because: I was standing in front of the building on a city tour, we weren't there. the forecourt with the big fountain is great, there is a lot to discover and the building has the 2nd largest glass dome. (Original) 4 sterne, weil : ich stand bei einer stadtführung vor dem gebäude, wir waren nicht drin. der vorplatz mit dem grossen brunnen ist toll, viel drauf zu entdecken und das gebäude hat die 2grösste glaskuppel.

(Translated by Google) It wasn't mine, but the building is really very nice and worth seeing from the inside. (Original) War nicht meins, das Gebäude ist allerdings wirklich sehr schön und sehenswert von innen.

Beautiful museum. With modern art you never know what happens.

(Translated by Google) The exhibition "I will Survive" by Hito Steyerl was staged superbly. There are many surprises in the exhibition. The staff is friendly. (Original) Die Ausstellung "I will Survive" von Hito Steyerl wurde super in Szene gesetzt. In der Ausstellung erlebt man viele Überraschungen. Das Personal ist freundlich.

Currently the climbing exhibit at the top of the museum is closed, and I was also surprised to be told off by a security guard for following what looked like instructions to engage with a particular exhibit (the dark pool). This was nevertheless an interesting experience.
