Wallraf-Richartz Museum

The Wallraf-Richartz Museum is known for art from medieval Cologne through the Baroque and Impressionism. Its collection is a reason to follow the institution, while the building offers an exterior landmark.

Wallraf-Richartz Museum

Why go

Stefan Lochner's Madonna in the Rose Bower is one of the collection's defining medieval works. Later paintings extend the story toward the Impressionist holdings of Fondation Corboud. The museum also shares a history with Museum Ludwig, which became independent in 1976; together they explain the city's complementary art collections.

What to look for

  • Stefan Lochner's Madonna in the Rose Bower belongs to the medieval collection.
  • The collection spans medieval painting, Baroque art and Impressionism.
  • The museum building by Oswald Mathias Ungers can be viewed from surrounding streets.

Useful to know

  • Check the museum's official status before planning a collection visit.
  • For modern art, consider Museum Ludwig's separate collection.
