Lonely Planet review for Museum Am Ostwall
Once one of Dortmund's largest and most famous breweries, the defunct Union Brauerei is a protected landmark being reinvented as a 'centre for art and creativity'. Three upper floors are the new home of the Museum am Ostwall, an art-world star thanks to its far-reaching collection of all major 20th- and 21st-century genres - expressionism to art informel, fluxus to op art to concrete art. For laypeople this translates into works by Macke, Nolde, Beuys and Paik, and living artists including Jochen Gerz and Anna and Bernhard Blume. It's expected to open in May 2010.
