Lonely Planet review

The distinctive building façade and unorthodox roofline signal that the Museum Ludwig is no ordinary museum. Considered a European mecca of postmodern art, it also offers a thorough overview of all genres - traditional to warped - generated in the 20th century. There's plenty of American pop art, including Roy Lichtenstein's Maybe and Andy Warhol's Brillo Boxes alongside a large Picasso collection covering all of his major creative phases.

Fans of German expressionism will get their fill here as much as those with a penchant for such Russian avant-gardists as Kasimir Malewitsch and Ljubow Popowa. Admission is also good for the Foto-Museum Agfa Foto-Historama, an unusual collection of historic photographs and equipment, housed under the same roof.
