Museum Küppersmühle

Museum Küppersmühle für Moderne Kunst

A contemporary art museum in a former flour mill at the Inner Harbour, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, with a collection of postwar German art.

Herzog & de Meuron converted a late-19th-century brick flour mill into this museum, then added a new wing in 2021 that connects to the old silos. The collection focuses on German art since 1945 and includes works by masters such as Richter, Baselitz, Kiefer, and Polke, alongside rotating special exhibitions. Admission is roughly ten-plus euros. The museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and it pairs well with a stroll along the Inner Harbour.
