Museum Morsbroich

Leverkusen, Germany, Germany

---

Museum Morsbroich in Leverkusen, Germany, occupies a Baroque castle dating back to 1752, originally built as a moated residence and later converted into Germany's first postwar modern art museum when it opened in 1951.

Housed within its historic walls and surrounded by an English landscape garden with contemporary sculptures, it features a collection of around 400 paintings and sculptures plus nearly 5,000 drawings and prints by post-war artists like Gerhard Richter, Yves Klein, ZERO group members, and figures from Nouveau Réalisme, Fluxus, and Informel.

Recognized as Museum of the Year in 2009 by German art critics, it presents rotating themed exhibitions rather than permanent displays, alongside events, guided tours, and site-specific installations in the park, welcoming visitors to explore modern and contemporary art trends up to the present.
