Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte

As the oldest museum of its kind in the Ruhr district, located in a historic building, the Museum of Art and Cultural History presents itself as a successful combination between an art museum and a history museum. From antiquity all the way through to the 20th century – the museum is home to important collections of painting and sculpture up to 1900, furniture, arts and crafts and design to the present day, graphics, photography, textiles, urban history, archaeology and the history of land surveying. The highlights of the collection are the gold treasures of late Roman coins, the Romanesque triumphal cross, the Gothic Madonna of Conrad von Soest and the portrait gallery.
