Museum Ludwig Reviews
We've found 2 Museum Ludwig reviews from Viator.com travelers and members: what they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved. It's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
The museum appears very attractive at entrance. Once you enter, it is a bit like a maze, as you enter, view all the pieces and exit back at the corridor, following the pieces as you walk along. The pieces are fascinating, especially the ones by Picasso; I would never have thought that I would be able to view the originals of some of Picasso's most significant pieces, such as 'Harlequin with hands folded'. I also liked Weed, painted bronze piece that looked to me like a real plant sprouting from under the wall and I only realised that it was bronze once I touched it. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and admired the originality and lifelikeness of the statues. There were also interactive stations where you were able to listen to information at a computer, which enhanced the whole experience. The museum gives a whole new insight into modern and contemporary art which is why I would recommend it. Usually, I would not enjoy walking through a gallery of art but visiting this museum gave me a whole new impression on art and its originality. Some of my favourite pieces on display included: The Restaurant Window by George Segal (a statue of two white figures standing by a window), 11 Panes by Gerhard Richter (eleven panes of glass placed in front of one another with a gap in between each one to create a ghostly effect when looked into) and Ctesiphon III by Frank Stella (a magnificent wheel of flourescent shades). The museum is also located very near to the Cologne cathedral.
