Another excellent museum option is the Ludwig Museum.

Located in the shadow of the cathedral, it houses a collection of modern and contemporary art of international significance.

Thanks to a donation of approximately 350 works of modern art by the Ludwig couple, the museum was established in 1976.

Pop Art icons—such as Roy Lichtenstein’s Maybe or Andy Warhol’s Brillo Boxes—can be seen in the largest Pop Art collection outside the United States, alongside the world’s third-largest collection of Picasso’s work, comprising prints, sculptures, and paintings.

The museum also features a comprehensive collection of the Russian avant-garde, as well as significant works of Surrealism, Expressionism, and German painting from the 1920s.
