Why go
Museum Ludwig's collection shifts the Cologne day from medieval stone to twentieth-century art, including major works of Pop Art. Its position next to the cathedral makes the contrast immediate, without a long transfer. Spend time with a few galleries rather than trying to cover every room before moving on.
