Pleasure and Leisure
The people of Dusseldorf are justifiably proud of their city’s vibrant cultural life - a real kaleidoscope of events, performances, shows and festivals. Düsseldorf boasts an extensive and presentable list of cultural institutions. Along with nine theatres there are eleven museums and a large number of smaller galleries.
They range from a sea-life museum to a film museum, from the arts collection of North Rhine-Westphalia, which hosts works from the 20th and 21st century by Paul Klee, Joseph Beuys, Mark Rothko or Andy Warhol, to such curiosities as a mustard museum.
From poetry readings and chamber music recitals to rap, hip-hop and rock concerts, the city offers something for everybody - every day of the year.
For lovers of classical music, opera and jazz Dusseldorf is a veritable feast, whilst theatregoers too, can choose from a rich offering of traditional and avant-garde plays and musicals.
