The park is known for its picturesque location along the banks of the Rhein-Herne-Kanal, making it a popular spot for running and hiking. Additionally, it offers facilities for campfires and hosts events like concerts in its well-organized amphitheater by the river.
lovely place - once you get away from the main station Gelsenkirchen has lots of nice parks and places away from the grim crowds.

Beautiful park with long large green grounds. Unfortunately very few trees meaning if you don't like burning in the sun you won't enjoy being there for long periods since there is barely any shade. Walking along the red bridge is stressful if you have small children due to many cyclists who drive fast and barely ring their bell. The big playground is ok not many play options for small children. They have three water stations in the sand box which makes it abit more exciting for the children during summer. It's still worth a visit.
Beautifully located park with plenty of paths for jogging and walking in peace
Here for nightwish concert. Huge park well organized. Nice amphiteatre on the river
We had nice hiking on midnight of Halloween. This park also consist a place for camp fire
Definitely worth visiting. The biggest park in Europe - 450sq km
Very nice and suitable for a fun day
Terrific atmosphere and facilities

Event venue

The venue boasts a retractable roof system, making it suitable for various weather conditions. Additionally, it features a movable pitch that can be adjusted to accommodate football matches or musical concerts. Visitors can also explore the club museum within the stadium.
Nice stadium, lots of food and drinks stands, lots of fan shops, easy access. Great atmosphere at Schalke04's game.

This stadium is big enough for concerts but sadly enough not to help that many people.
We had a very good experience in the last concert of Robbie Williams, the sound , service, and toilets were very clean. Everyone gets well checked before entering the stadium and there was no waiting line(we were kind of late) and there were still free parking spaces.
The concert app advised us to use public transport and park out of the city but because of traffic that day we were forced to park at the stadium itself which made it a very unpleasant experience in the end.
Food was nice and they have vegan/vegetarian options.
Getting in the parking lot isn't fast enough because of traffic lights that aren't going on fast and getting out is another story. We had to wait more than 2,5h to get out of the concert and that happened because traffic became less at 1:00am. Except that the road you had to walk to the parking lot was full with people and for the first time I saw a walking traffic where people would walk so slow because was busy and there was no direction on other options to leave the stadium (at least not very clear).
So my advice here is to park far from the city and walk/public transport so you'll know what time you want to be home on time.
Top venue for concerts too - went to see Bruce Springsteen and everything was very well organised. More bathrooms are needed - as an improvement point. They only think about men and football matches, but for other events, needs to be more inclusive also for kids and women.
One of the best football stadiums I've been to. Well organized and competent. Really good Currywurst & Pommes! Good sized portion, fair price, served quickly. Good seats with a good view.
We went for the PUR and Friends concert. It was awesome. Affordable drinks and snacks too.
I recently caught Iron Maiden at Veltins Arena and it was an incredible experience. This venue truly lives up to its reputation as a massive arena, perfectly capable of accommodating a huge crowd for such a high-energy event. The atmosphere inside was absolutely electric, and the layout offered great views making it a fantastic setting for a concert. Highly recommended!
Great game! The arena was easy to get to, and the atmosphere was solid. Beer was reasonably priced at €5 for 0.5L, plus a €2 deposit. Overall, a fun experience!
The stadium was truly impressive, with an incredible atmosphere that made for an unforgettable experience at The Eras Tour in Gelsenkirchen. The venue itself is an architectural marvel, offering comfortable seating and fantastic views of the stage from all angles. The energy in the crowd was electric, with Swifties from around the world coming together to enjoy an extraordinary show.
Facilities were well-maintained, with clean restrooms, although additional women’s restrooms would have been helpful given the crowd size. A few more friendly faces among the kiosk staff could have added to the experience, but overall, the event was exceptionally well-handled. The staff and security team did an outstanding job, ensuring everyone’s safety throughout the night. 🙏🏼

Nestled in the charming Horst district of Gelsenkirchen, Schloss Horst stands as a magnificent testament to Renaissance architecture. This historic castle, one of Westphalia's oldest structures, was built in the 16th century and is renowned for its impressive four-winged design. Visitors can wander through beautifully restored halls and explore a museum that delves into the region's rich history.
It has a library and it is also the place where people can get marry legally, it have many floors, a place with a Cristal ceiling and also a coffee place

This was my second time visiting the place and both times we were welcomed by a very nice and friendly stuff. Last time, we were almost the only ones in the whole castle, but as I was with the children below 6 years, I realised that exhibition in the basement was a bit scary for them. At least my 5 year old did not understand why people would live like this back in the days, it was also kind of dark and dusty. A bit creepy with all the rats and mice. Other then that, it was rather educating.
Super atmosphere. Back in time
Sorry can't comment. Spent 4 hours getting there from Cologne hauptbahnhof only to find it closed for a birthday party!
Very nice and quick tour with Herr. Raison the one of staff member very polite and explain all things in English. The castle history and their owners, their architecture development years etc. Suggest to visit!

Art museum
Museums
Nestled in the charming city of Gelsenkirchen, the Kunstmuseum Gelsenkirchen is a stunning blend of history and modernity. Housed in an elegant Neo-Baroque villa complemented by a contemporary glass extension, this museum specializes in 19th and 20th-century art. Although it was established only in the 1950s, it has quickly amassed an impressive collection featuring works from renowned artists like Lovis Corinth, Max Ernst, and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy.
Great collection of classic modern and kinetic art wrapped in a surprisingly beautiful blend of 19th century and 1980ies architecture. Frequent contemporary exhibitions and performances. Great staff in both museum and café.
Stefan M — Google review
Tge entrance is free and in downstairs there are science arts, the staff can explain you if you re good Deutsch sprachen but as like me not good in Germany only option will be looking around by yourself . And there are no app, and all art has german little expaination. One of staff told me about tablet but i dont know. In upstairs there are some gallery, you might like it.
The tour is between 1 2 or half hours, and if you alone planning to travell here, just be with someone or this place is little bit boring for some people.
Surprisingly rich collection in a quaint 70's building annex villa. The works are packed here and you gotta keep your eyes open not to miss anything.
Modern collection with fresh contemporary additions and a proud sample of local artists.
Nice
Super!

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Amusement park
Movie Park, located in Bottrop-Kirchhellen, Germany, is a popular amusement park with a movie theme. Divided into seven Hollywood-themed zones such as Hollywood Street Set and Nickland, the park offers a variety of family-friendly and thrilling rides, live shows, mazes, and audiovisual attractions based on famous movies and TV shows. Visitors can enjoy 4D cinema experiences like Ice Age or explore mazes inspired by The Walking Dead using real sets from the show.
We were a group of five visiting Movie Park Germany on a public holiday, and we arrived around noon. Before entering, there was a thorough security check, which I found very reassuring—it made me feel safe throughout the entire day in the park.
Inside, you can find a variety of restaurants, snack stands, and sweet stalls offering treats such as crêpes, churros, gummy bears, fries, and pizza slices. There are also plenty of restrooms located conveniently around the park.
Movie Park Germany is a fantastic destination for families with young children, but also for groups of friends or adults looking for excitement. The park features several roller coasters, ranging from family-friendly rides to adrenaline-filled thrill rides like Star Trek: Operation Enterprise, which even launches you backward, and Van Helsing’s Factory, a dark ride coaster with sharp turns. The safety measures on all attractions are excellent, and staff are very attentive.
Since we visited during the Halloween Horror Festival, we booked two of the horror houses: The Hell House and Blood Moon: The Trailer House. Both experiences were intense, immersive, and absolutely worth the extra cost. The Halloween theming across the park was very detailed and atmospheric, with actors, decorations, and special effects adding to the experience. The only downside was that the groups in the horror houses were admitted too close together, which sometimes broke the illusion and caused a bit of crowding inside.
One thing to note is the parking situation: there is no payment machine directly in the parking lot. You need to purchase your parking ticket inside the park before returning to your car. As the distance between the parking area and the park entrance is not very short, it’s definitely easier to buy the ticket in advance before heading back.
Overall, Movie Park Germany is a great choice for a fun day out, whether you love thrill rides, entertaining shows, or seasonal events like Halloween.

Very nice themed park. My kids (8, 12 and 18years old) all had a great day with the rides and shows. Not completely five stars though. The drinks are quite expensive. The food is reasonably priced. So a tip is to bring your own drinks. Further more, all rides close half an hour before closing time and some only open at 11 even though the park is open at 10. But all in all a great day out. The park is not very big in lay-out, so it is easy to go from one place to the other. Also the waiting times are not ridiculously long as in other parks.
We had purchased the tickets at a discounted price of 29€ and visited on Saturday. We reached early at the opening time and were lucky to not face long queues at most rides.
Best thing about this amusement park is that it has rides for all age groups so no one feels left out and most of the rides are super fun. We loved it to the bits and would happily visit it again.
Make sure you buy your tickets online and not at the gate as you’ll save about €20. Had a great day, did lots of attractions in only a few hours. Studio tour the ride was our favourite with some great theming and effects. It’s a fun park but for someone who’s done many Disney and Universal studios parks it lacks a little in its up keep but I don’t think that’s the parks fault but likely down to the guests as some of the details in the ques look quite worn down.
Very nice theme park in Germany. We been there with my colleagues last spring. Its not so big place but the attractions were compact and you can go in every rides for whole day. Its not also crowded and you dont need to wait for long lines to go in every attractions
Also the rides are exciting and fun.
We had a family trip to the movie park. It was an amazing experience.
Suitable for all ages. We were. Group of adults, a 5 years old, and a 10 years old. Everyone had an activity suitable for their age. From breathtaking rollercoasters, to family shows, to kids plays.
The best thing was that we didn't need to stand hours long on the queue for each ride.
Highly recommend!
This is the best adventure experience I’ve ever had in my life so far. No words to express my excitement and joy. I enjoyed it a lot. I hope to go there someday soon again.
I went on a Sunday with my boyfriend and, even though it was full, it was an wonderful experience!
I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks because everything is very expensive here.
One suggestion - put the maximum heights in ALL the attractions. My boyfriend is 2,06m tall and he found, sometimes after waiting 45 minutes in line, that he couldn’t fit the attraction cars (even though they didn’t have a maximum height published at the entrance).

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
ZOOM Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen offers a unique experience, allowing visitors to embark on a journey through three distinct adventure worlds: Alaska, Africa, and Asia. Spanning over 30 hectares, this expansive zoo provides a natural habitat for more than 900 animals across 100 species. Families with young children will find it especially enjoyable, as there are playgrounds and boating activities available.
ZOOM Erlebniswelt in Gelsenkirchen is one of the best and most immersive zoos in Germany. The park is divided into three themed areas—Alaska, Africa, and Asia—each designed to replicate the natural habitats of the animals. The enclosures are spacious and well-maintained, giving animals plenty of room to move around, which enhances the visitor experience.

It’s an animal park without animals. Maybe it's a nice park in general, but I didn’t see any animals. It was quite a warm day — 27 degrees — so maybe they were all inside? But I didn’t see them in their shelters either. I barely saw any animals at all. The water in the park was very dirty, and I’m worried the water animals might get sick from it. One nice part was the boat ride through the safari area — that was enjoyable. But overall, I don’t feel the need to come back to this animal park. These three photos are all that I could get today. It is terrible to get a parking place, so be there early
One of the best organised zoos you could visit. Well-structured, safe yet with easy access to the animals. You don’t even pity the poor animals since it’s rather an open-air home they with some exceptions of course. Overall, great place to visit and even spend the whole day at.
Amazing Zoo and experience. Staff is super nice. However negative was that they lack events or shows. Another thing was that the food and beverage prices where bit steep for the value. And a lack of information on the animals within their habitats. Over all though I would visit again. Lots of fun for kids.
Great zoo! Themed areas, nice enclosures and a lot of playgrounds. Cons: price of food/drinks, toilets aren't clean.
Ist really big! So better if you start in the morning... Otherwise I can not see the entire place with kids. A lot of playgrounds. They will take a lot of time too 😉
The best zoo I've been to for many reasons. Most importantly, an enormous effort has gone into creating the right environments for the different animals needs and this is evident in the health of the animals we saw. This would have been a beautiful woodland walk if there had been no animals at all! The circular routes, facilities, toilets, cafés are very well planned. It is wheelchair and dog friendly. Fantastic experience.
A little zoo where you stroll from the entrance to the exit, following a path that brings you to different animals, classified by their continent of origin. It’s a big park quite popular among families with young kids. Close from Essen, with enough parking areas, this zoo offers an interesting view on familiar and less familiar species. I usually avoid zoos because they’re exploiting animals for profit and let them live in poor conditions. Here, it looks like most animals have enough space to move and are well treated, with a few exceptions.

Nestled in Gelsenkirchen, the Musiktheater im Revier is a stunning glass-walled performing arts venue that has been captivating audiences since its opening in 1959. This architectural gem, recognized as one of the most significant theaters from the post-war era, boasts a striking cube-shaped facade and two distinct halls—Grosses Haus and Kleines Haus. Inside, visitors can marvel at six impressive reliefs by renowned artist Yves Klein, showcasing his iconic blue hues.
Large lobby area with lots of light.
Friendly staff and pretty easy to find your seat position, even though I don't speak German.
Views of the stage are good and sound quality goof.
Richard M — Google review
Went to see the Dernière of Hänsel & Gretel. Typical public/theatre building (somewhat old fashioned in structure, design and amenities.) The play was good, production quality was decent and the main actors played their parts well (although I felt the voice of Hänsel was a tad too piercing over the orchestra). Kudos to the actor who played the witch.
One issue with the theatre is, the building design is not for people with disabilities. You are depending on a wheelchair or walker, you'll have a tough time.
Nice and attractive place. In the evening time kids are playing here. Some beautiful architecture is here.
Fabulous venue. Wonderful performance of La Boheme.
I like the building but in total I really enjoyed the theatre.
Hello Dolly got a deserved standing ovation. The theater and staging was tops
It's a place worth visiting for the architecture alone: a stunning building. Speaks volumes of the former glory of Gelsenkirchen, while the city now seems to be circling the sinkhole, this gem still shines.
Theatre, ballet, opera and concert productions are fewer than they used to be but I still go every time I am back in my old home town of Gelsenkirchen.
Opera Hall from 1959 which looks like built today - great acoustics I side and very comfortable seats, you’d never expect anything like that in a city like Gelsenkirchen!

Housed in a renovated coal-washing plant, the Ruhr Museum is situated within the Zeche Zollverein complex. Designed by architect Rem Koolhaas, the museum's layout preserves the original flow of production, with exhibitions spanning four floors. Visitors can explore local history, culture, and nature through both temporary and permanent displays. The museum offers insight into the region's heritage beyond coal mining, showcasing artifacts unearthed from excavations in the area.
Very well maintained museum with diverse expositions on many topics enriched with sound effects, good light design and overall feeling. Those keen on visiting such places definitely need to make a visit.
Maksim L — Google review
Let me start that's not a bad museum, the amount and quality of stuff, especially the geological is top notch. It's just not what you would expect from something located in a UNESCO site in a coal washing plant. Especially since, when you enter one of the longest escalators you will see in your life and arrive at the entrance level you are greeted with some cool looking industrial stuff. You feel like you actually went back in time and entered the factory, then there are stairs, that are mysteriously glowing in an orange color. All of that bursts like a bubble when you enter the permanent exhibition which is using almost nothing of the the place itself or the industry that was located here. Of course there is a whole floor dedicated to the Ruhr region history nowadays, and at the bottom when there are the history sections where you can see some environment damages and machinery that was used in old times. It's all about the Rurh region, but why not use this whole UNESCO complex you have here? Use the transmission belts to travel between the buildings and the exhibits. It's not like you would have to build them, they are there, you can even see them through the glass doors. Show some coal mining and coke production, not with a movie, hidden somewhere in a corner, but with lights, moving objects and sounds... something that would keep the feeling you have at the entrance. There are guided tours that show a bit more, however unless you are interested in the history that you could read on your own, there is little to see on those. I am actually mad at the wasted potential of this place. It could've been something that's one of a kind in the world, with this preserved site and what you get is a good museum for a middle school trip.
I spent seven hours browsing the site and the museums, and even then there were more things to see!
The main museum has three floors of various expositions, from the ancient history of this region to the modern times, plus industrial artifacts, paintings, books, and more. There is an observatory platform to see the area from above. There are several tours in German and English. The English tour took us to the coal plant where we learned a lot about the mining operations of the past.
I recommend coming as soon as they open (10:00 at present) to easily get tickets for any areas that require them (several areas are free). You can easily spend the whole day there!
The museum has elevators to make it accessible. However, for the plant tour make sure to ask, because our route involved many stairs.
There is a café, book & souvenir shop, and plenty of restrooms in the museum building.
I highly recommend! Don't think about it as "just a coal mine" - this is a phenomenal museum of natural history, industrial history, and stories of the people of Rhine-Ruhr over the years. Plus, the territory of Zollverein has many other activities to explore.
The Ruhr’s entire story under one roof! Located in the iconic Zollverein Coal Mine Complex, the Ruhr Museum takes you on a journey from the region’s geological origins to its industrial boom and cultural transformation. The exhibits are beautifully curated, mixing fossils, minerals, historical artifacts, and powerful photography. The industrial setting adds atmosphere — riding the massive orange escalator to the entrance is an experience in itself. A must for anyone wanting to understand the Ruhr’s soul.
Stumbled upon this unique location before heading home. We walked around and did a tour on our own. We made some cute photos in the booth and made a souvenir coin. Always nice to learn some history.
A very good museum! It's actually huge, and tells stories not only about the site itself and the industrialization of the Ruhr area, but about geology, history and geography as well. Plan several hours for the visit.
The Ruhr Museum is really an amazing place. It is located in a building of an old coal mine, and a lot of the original equipment was kept there, which creates very interesting atmosphere. The exhibitions are very diverse. There is a history of the region, the history of Germany itself, as well as archaeology and nature. The exhibition doesn't become boring because it keeps switching your attention from one aspect to another. They also didn’t forget about coal. There are many different types of coal presented. I didn’t even know there are so many types of it! Overall, it is a great museum and highly recommended to visit.
Very good museum, definitely worth checking out the guided tour. But if you visit here definitely also check out the Red Dot Design Museum!

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Essen Minster, also known as Essen Cathedral, is a historic Roman Catholic church located in the Burgplatz. Originally built as an abbey in the 9th century, it is considered one of Germany's oldest cathedrals. The cathedral treasury houses a significant collection of religious artworks, including a golden Madonna statue. Managed by the cathedral chapter, the treasury chamber preserves liturgical implements and objects still used in the service of God to this day.
The most beautiful church I ever seen. What really impacted me was the krypta. What a magic place I went down 4 times just to look at the serenity of this place. Wish I had a chance to enter and meditate there. The surroundings were peaceful and clean I just love it
Empress K — Google review
Top and perhaps the only place to see in central Essen. Golden Madonna is magnificent. There are few more pieces of art surviving. Otherwise, the cathedral is quite empty- I guess due to the bombing campaign during Second World War.
Essen's silent guardian: the Essener Dom, echoing tales from the 9th century.
In the heart of Essen, where history and faith intertwine, Essener Dom
2022.4.29
Essener Münster / Essen Cathedral / Essener Dom is a Roman catholic church, sits right in the crowded downtown.
Damaged in WWII but rebuilt this is a lovely church with a historic Romanesque west end resembling Aachen, with a gothic nave and apse. It has the famous Romanesque golden Madonna (behind grates and glass) and an equally old giant candle holder. The old crypt was closed whenever we visited. There are many interesting modern features too, I particularly loved the Buschulte (I think) stained glass in the nave and choir. Guessing late 1950s into the 1960s? Outside there are modern bronze doors, also very interesting - look out for poor John the Baptist's head and Salome. A nice quiet cloister on one side and large square on the other with wonderful plaited trees and a nice fountain. Also a modern statue of Alfrid, the founder. No tickets needed but check for when the services take place. We went for a lent musical meditation which included baroque organ music as well as some liturgical elements.
Beautiful interior, be sure to view both the small chapel and the main cathedral and go down the stairs to see the crypt
Wonderful old catholic churck
Very beautiful.

The Rungenberg dump in Gelsenkirchen is more than just a suitable location for a relaxed and slightly longer walk. It offers an enjoyable experience, especially during late spring or summer, with refreshing breezes at the top. The trails are also perfect for activities such as jogging or cycling. However, the real highlight occurs in the evening or at night when the headlights illuminate the area, providing a mesmerizing sight.
It is extremely beautiful at night, although the path is a little dark. If you're going in winter then cover up properly as it gets very cold up there.

(Translated by Google) The Rungenberg dump is definitely worth another visit. Getting there by bike is very easy via the nearby railway lines and well-developed cycle paths. Once you have reached the top of one of the two halves of the pyramid, a magnificent view of the Ruhr area awaits you.
It's just a shame that there are no garbage cans in the dump and therefore there is garbage on the floor on the benches that have been set up.
(Original)
Die Halde Rungenberg ist mit Sicherheit einen weiteren Besuch wert. Mit dem Rad ist die Anfahrt über die naheliegenden Bahntrassen und gut ausgebauten Radwege sehr simpel. Wenn man erst ganz oben auf einer der beiden Pyramidenhälften angekommen ist, erwartet einen ein grandioser Ausblick auf das Ruhrgebiet.
Schade ist nur, dass es keine Mülltonnen auf der Halde gibt und daher an den aufgestellten Bänken Müll auf dem Boden liegt.
(Translated by Google) The climb of about 300 steps is strenuous, but the view from the top is absolutely worth it!
Considering there are no trash cans, it's really clean.
The view over Gelsenkirchen and much of the Ruhr area is simply priceless.

~ 300 Stufen Aufstieg sind zwar anstrengend, aber den Blick den man von ganz oben genießen kann, ist es absolut wert!

(Translated by Google) The heap of many faces - the entire mountain was not created by chance but according to a usage concept. A heap of cones was placed on top, bare, gray above the green heap. There are rusty light cannons on both sides of the divided cone, which visually supplement the missing cone at night. Great views and beautiful walks, the walk is worth it.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful park with several amenities, such as playgrounds (including water features), miniature golf, hiking trails, and, most importantly, restrooms that are free to use (far too rare, or they require a fee). What really bothers me, however, is this cogeneration plant that's proudly displayed there, but reverberates quite far into the park. I don't think such a device is good for the environment, as it certainly disturbs some animals, but otherwise, it's a beautiful and clean park.

Ein schöner Park mit einigen Angeboten wie Spielplätze (auch mit Wasser), Minigolf, Wanderwege und vor allem eine Sanitäreinrichtung die man kostenlos nutzen kann (viel zu selten oder kostenpflichtig).

Adventure-Packed Day at Alma Park NRW! 🎮🏹🧗♀️
We had an unforgettable time at Alma Park NRW with my partner and his relatives! For just €29 with the Action Pass, we got access to an awesome variety of activities that kept us on our feet the entire day. We booked online for the tickets.
From mini golf to laser tag battles and to and virtual reality games, there was something fun for everyone — whether you’re super active or just up for a good laugh. The place is well-organized, clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout.
It was such a great way to bond with family, try new things together, and share lots of laughs. Totally worth the price.
Highly recommended for friend groups, families, or couples looking for a mix of fun, adrenaline, and teamwork in one indoor adventure park. 💥🕹️
#AlmaParkNRW #ActionPassAdventure #FamilyFun #CouplesThatPlayTogether
Amazing experience and lots of activities for different skill levels. Great for all ages and occasions especially big groups. The actions pass is great for those who want to do multiple activities
Horrible rude experience. The escape room is in Germany instructions even though they took the money and said the instructions are in English. Now while my kids are playing the jerk comes to tell me we have to leave because we we supposed to know, without being told that we were here only until 6pm.
So because I trusted they would explain these things before they stole our money for worthless experience. Coming from Orlando where we tell our tourists the rules before we steal their money, i expected more professional behavior.
Staff are friendly and very helpful, had fun playing various games with my friends and will definitely come back again. 😊
Very fun place and has lots of activity options , come here and spend hours not bored
It was a wonder experience
I recommend any one that would like to have fun to come here

Art Museums
Museum Folkwang, located in Essen, is a renowned cultural institution that boasts an extensive collection of European art from the 19th and 20th centuries. Originally founded in Hagen in 1902, the museum moved to Essen in 1921 and has since expanded its collection to include masterpieces by prominent artists such as Van Gogh, Monet, Kandinsky, and Klee.
A well maintained and beautiful public museum. Apart from the permanent exhibition, there was also "Frau in blau" temporary exhibition. The highlight is Van Gogh's paintings kept in the permanent exhibition.
Prathmesh W — Google review
Enjoyable experience of modern art (the 1860s to the 1970s) with informative notes. Includes Dali, Magritte, Van Gogh among many others.
I particularly liked various installations.
A leisurely stroll through the exhibits took me about two hours, but I can imagine spending more time in this museum, especially because the photo collection was closed at the time of my visit.
The main collection is open for free.
There is a café-restaurant on the terrace next to the museum. The museum shop has gifts and a lot, a whole library worth of art books. There is also an actual library (reading room) to sit and study art books.
Te permanent exhibition is free. You can find art from Andy Warhol, Monet, Van Gogh, Degas, Renoir, Mondrian, etc. And many contemporary artwork.
If you want to visit the temporary expositions. You can buy your ticket in the entrance :)
Also, the museum shop has interesting stuff to see or buy 🤩
I love this place. The William Kentridge exhibition was exceptional, but the collections hold some gems too (Matisse, Gauguin, Nam Yune Paik, Rodin, Mondriaan) and well curated. We came with our 6 year old who’s not very interrested in art and still spent 3 hours! The museum shop has a great book selection.
Architecturally the building is amazing. The permanente collection is overall pretty good, has quite a few contemporary masters and some interesting minors particularly from the Neue Sachlichkeit and I did not pay.
But really need a curatorial overhaul, thematic rooms are maybe good for kids, not for a thinking adult. In particular if the themes are so abstract and the paintings do not speak with each other. Also you can’t put Braque and Picasso right beside a festival poster.
I found very interesting & cool the scoring system for paintings’ provenance during WWII, to rank how clear or murky their history was. I wish the same would be done for the “exotic” pieces they have but I guess we would see a lot of red dots.
The staff were incredibly friendly and the temporary exhibition was interesting and well curated.
Very nice museum. Free to visit except for the temporary exhibitions.
Their permanent collection is pretty amazing. You can see some artwork from Van Gogh, Picasso, Dali and many more. It’s free entry except the temporary exhibitions.
A great museum with a great collection of modern and contemporary art. Architecture of the building is also amazing. You would need 2-3h for a proper visit.

The Red Dot Design Museum, located in a building redesigned by Norman Foster, showcases the finest contemporary product designs from around the world. Situated within the Zollverein Complex, it celebrates industrial design breakthroughs and houses over 1,000 products that have received the prestigious Red Dot Design Award. The museum is dedicated to excellence in design, functionality, and innovation. It has been recognized as one of the top design museums globally and features everyday items that have become iconic due to their exemplary designs.
The Red Dot Design Museum is a fantastic spot for design lovers! The exhibits showcase award-winning products and innovative concepts from all over the world, from clever everyday items to visionary designs. The museum’s industrial-chic setting complements the modern displays and adds to the experience. I’d recommend giving yourself about 2 hours to really take it all in—you’ll want to explore each piece.
One thing that could be improved is the signage; it was a bit hard to find the entrance, so clearer directions would help. Also, while the museum shop is decent, it didn’t quite live up to the creativity of the exhibits—could be a bit more exciting. Overall, though, the Red Dot Design Museum is a unique and inspiring visit for anyone curious about the world of design
Charlotte B — Google review
The Red Dot Design Museum in Essen is a hidden gem, especially if you love design, creativity, or just seeing cool stuff. It’s located in a former coal mine, which gives it this incredible mix of industrial history and cutting-edge innovation—a great setting for showcasing award-winning designs.
From Apple and Nintendo’s evolution to kitchen gadgets you never think twice about, the museum makes you realize how much thought goes into everyday objects. The best part? You can actually touch and test out many of the exhibits! I had way too much fun spinning in a designer chair and checking out futuristic furniture. What I was missing was a bit more explanation added to the displays or maybe one sentence fun facts on why this design is special - sometimes it was difficult to know without googling what I was looking up or why should I care.
Oh, and if you’re on a budget—Fridays are “Pay As Much As You Want” days! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
I will start by saying that the Red Dot museum IS worth visiting. However….some feedback and notes for fellow visitors. Though there are some cool state of the art or certainly interesting items, I’m sorry but a “control system” or “car part” does not engage (key word of the day…) or inform me what in Earth it is for, good for them for earning a “design award”. A few videos are more helpful but besides being able to touch some things and sit on some chairs, for things to either be functional or actually explained! Also, for some of the items that can be “tried”, it’d actually be nice to be able to leave feedback on their design or functionality because I’d certainly never buy a modern Chinese fridge that’s impossible to open. Maybe some things are already out for sale in Beijing or Finland but a lot does not leave a wow impression from having plainly seen it at the museum. The cashier is friendly and knowledgeable, and I’m not saying the museum has to sell its soul to the corporations making these products, the wow factor should be the premises of finding out what innovation is
Design heaven inside a former powerhouse! The Red Dot Design Museum blends cutting-edge modern design with the raw industrial charm of the Zollverein Coal Mine Complex. Every corner showcases innovative products, from everyday gadgets to futuristic concepts, all winners of the prestigious Red Dot Award. The building itself is a work of art — a perfect backdrop for creativity. Whether you’re a design professional or just curious, it’s an inspiring, hands-on experience you won’t forget.
It was very nice and exciting experience to see and learn about the roll and function of design in different industries. Definitely recommend it
Awesome awesome awesome. Loved this place, and some super cool items on display.
Definite must visit.
That's fantastic place for everyone who is interested in art, design and industrial architecture. I've visited it multiple times and will definitely visit again. Surrounding area is quite vast so prepare yourself for long walk if you want to explore entire complex.
It's fun.... But I also found myself asking, (as a designer), "why did [this] win a design award?". As many of the products did not take into account usability at all. Washing machines that hurt my hands to open (and would be near impossible for those with large hands), designs that were unintuitive to figure out. It seemed more like awards for aesthetic beauty-- rather than innovative, functional or overall good designs (which I expected).

Great for a day out, but pick good weather as you need to walk outside a bit.
Unfortunately, they had some staffing issues, so we couldn’t ride the train, but otherwise it’s nice to see all the historic machines.
What can i say except TRAINs. If you like them that is the place to go. On special days there is a tour with a train. Bring your own food and drinks😉.
Historical museum. You need about 30 minutes max to go through all but its very interesting. Description is also in english. The ticket costs 9,50 euros.
Very interesting railway museum located in a preserved maintenance facility. The exhibits include a wide range of German railway equipment, many of them consisting of a representative selection of steam engines.
The feeling of being on an active old marshalling yard is preserved by the train rides on the adjoining line and the many preserved buildings and facilities.
A must for railfans.
Lovely industrial railway museum. Worth the walk from the station
Great venue to have a whisky tasting. Enjoy the old trains and history.

Greate place for family with a children (we have a 3 years old daughter). She was allowed to go to the all attractions. Except 3 or 4. Thre are a lot of attentions which are interesting for adults as well. You can change 1 euro coins at the enter and also get a map of the park. Unfortunately boats and catamarans do not operate. Most likely due to the fact that the lake is drying up and there is little water in it.

We had an amazing time at Schloss Beck!
It is large enough for the kids to have a fun day and small ebough to let the kids run around without having to stay on top of them.
The nature path in the back was a lovely surprise!
We will be back!
It is a good park to spend a day with children.There are different rides and boating available for all to enjoy.Every ticket at the entrance costs around 14 Euro then all the rides are inclusive.You don’t have to pay extra for the rides.
Great place to visit with kids between 3 and 9 years old. It s an older parc but your kids wil love it. Dont expect exiting things to do for adults its an amusement parc for your kids.
Prices for food are not too expensive. The food you can get is all very basic.
Parking costs you 1€.
Freizeitpark Schloss Beck is a small amusement park that's a perfect day out for the whole family. It's a cosy place with really friendly staff! Definitely recommended if you have a family with kids!
I recommend it for family with young children, no crowd on weekdays. Adults can go on rides with kids which makes it ideal if kids are scared/reluctant to try. There is even small lake to go boating.
Well worth the price! Paid 64€ for 2 adults and 4 kids , The park itself was really good in my opinion, quite a lot of self service rides which could be potentially dangerous in my opinion especially when you have parents that dont care what there kids do. The staff i met where friendly and helpful. The price is 100% good for this park , brilliant for small children.
Great place to visit with small kids. A lot of entertainment and really good price. We will come back!

Schloss Betge is surrounded by a beautiful large park and is located in Buer a district of Gelsenkirchen.

seasonal flowers beds.
Both a nice expensive restaurant, as well as casual pizza and ice cream on the lake. a beautiful garden to walk in.
Beautiful Germany hotel in the centre of the park. Only stayed for one night but i could see it was very well prepared for weddings. Stayed in a junior suite that was massive! With my wife and two kids. Room was great, beds were quite hard but you cant have it all!
Breakfast was fantastic with freshly squezze orange juice, cooked breakfast, fresh rolls pastries, meat and cheese. The waitress was amazing!!
This brunch is in my opinion is not worth 39 euros per person. The food is edible but there's no wow factor. I also didn't appreciate the fact that the chefs tending to the buffets had dirty aprons on. I was a chef 👨🍳 for 16 years and that's definitely a no no. Get it together guys where's your professional pride?
I found the service personnel to be friendly enough and the location was good 👍.
There's a great deal of room for improvement here. Maybe I will come back and do a checkup in a few months 🤔.
This used to be a great place to eat out - gorgeous surroundings and beautiful old building. Unfortunately the quality of the food and the value for money is not up to date anymore (plus the interior is rather old fashioned but if the food is great I would not say anything!). In our group of seven two of beef filets had to be returned as they were well done rather than medium rare. My pasta with prawns had 2.5 prawns and was overcooked - I could go on. We gave feedback to the kitchen and the head of restaurant who was thankful for our comments after coming a few times a year, however I don’t think we’ll come back anytime soon.
Went to the restraunt as a team, was glorious, exceptional and the prices too when the bill came. Staff were friendly and responsive for a large dinner setting. Food too a little while to come which was very painful and agonising. Would definetly recommend for a special accasion just make sure you bring a platinum card with a platinum attitude. Loved it!
Great hotel. Lovely friendly staff. Food in the restaurant was superb for dinner. Grounds are beautiful - just had a lovely long breakfast on the terrace watching the ducks, geese and rabbits wander the lawns.

Stockpile Rheinelbe (North) is a great spot for outdoor enthusiasts, with plenty of parks and trails to explore. Visitors can enjoy running in parks like Grugapark, Emscher Park, Gleispark Frintrop, and Helenen Park. The area also offers riverfront paths in Duisburg and a 5k loop around the Regattabahn. For those who appreciate art and scenic views, there are interesting sculptures at a viewing point with breathtaking views.
Breathtaking viel of the nearby cities!

Racecourse
Trabrennbahn Gelsenkirchen, located near Gesundheitspark Nienhausen, has a capacity of over 10,000 people. It is a popular destination for football fans who travel in large numbers to support their teams. The track is spacious but may require some modernization. Visitors have enjoyed events such as Silvester Party and have described it as a great location with an exciting atmosphere.

Not worth for playing International cricket matches. Ground condition is horrible with uneven bounce and lots of stones to damage the ball and cause injuries to players. Even the outfield is bad and not upto the mark. Grass is growing in patches and really unsafe for the players to play cricket. Small dimensions is a problem with no facilities for washroom or changing rooms for players.
Nice track. Big area, so a lot of space but needs bit updating to this century.

Always loved going here ever since I was a kid and recently took my boyfriend, 10/10 date.
There's a large pond with cute birds, an unfortunately rather deteriorating Kare-San-Sui Japanese garden, and there's even more across the road! Also a couple good Cafés in the surroundings. Lots of pretty plants and flowers too.

Nestled in the heart of the Ruhr area, "Monument for a Forgotten Future" is part of the Emscherkunst.2010 project, which was hailed as one of the largest public art initiatives during that year's European Capital of Culture celebrations. Curated by Florian Matzner, this captivating installation features an array of impressive rock sculptures that harmoniously blend with their lush surroundings. Visitors can enjoy a unique walking experience here, where nature and art intertwine beautifully.

(Translated by Google) I was very surprised to discover this rock in the middle of the flatland. And then music comes out. So be sure to walk all the way around the rock. The volume is not the same everywhere
(Original)
Ich war sehr überrascht diesen Felsen mitten im Flachland zu entdecken. Und das dann auch noch Musik herauskommt. Also unbedingt einmal ganz um den Felsen laufen. Die Lautstärke ist nicht überall gleich
(Translated by Google) Great walk. Opulent huge rocks or rocky sculptures. Not only pleasing to the eye, surrounded by green nature, pleasant music also sounds from some of the sculptures. Great idea. Well-kept place. Just no seating in the traditional sense, for example for seniors. Otherwise you can sit on rocks. But it's ideal for a different kind of walk. It's something different than taking the dog into the forest, etc. There's not much crowd in the morning or before midday on weekdays.
(Original)
Toller Spaziergang. Opulente riesige Felsen oder felsige skulpturen. Nicht nur für die Augen nett anzusehen, zwischen der grünen Natur sondern auch angenehme Musik erklingt aus einigen Skulpturen. Tolle Idee. Gepflegter Ort. Nur keine Sitzmöglichkeiten im herkömmlichen Sinne,zb für Senioren. Ansonsten kann auf Felsen platzgenommen werden. Aber eignet sich optimal für einen Spaziergang der anderen Art. Ist mal etwas anderes als mit dem Hund in den Wald etc. Morgens oder vor mittags in der Woche wenig Publikum.
(Translated by Google) Near the lock of the Rhine-Herne Canal you come across a monumental rock surrounded by sand from which soft music can be heard. Seating invites you to linger.
(Original)
In der Nähe der Schleuse des Rhein-Herne-Kanals trifft man auf einen monumentalen von Sand umgebenen Felsen aus dem leise Musik tönt. Sitzgelegenheiten laden zum Verweilen ein.
(Translated by Google) Only discovered by chance, I've been up the stairs several times over the years and never discovered anything special, which always surprised me, what's the point? until I read the sign, then of course I went straight there. Very large artificial rock, beautifully arranged, invites you to take a break. There are no benches, but there are rocks to sit on and I was lucky the chill music was playing! To then listen to the music for a while that I knew nothing about! I was just guessing where it came from, a really good idea in the rock, I was there on my bike all alone, but there was no sign of the beautiful place at the bottom of the lock, probably not everyone should find it. Strange tactic, hence only 4 stars! Greetings from Moers

Amphitheater Gelsenkirchen, located on the Rhine-Herne Canal, serves as a festival site hosting events like Rock Hard Festival and Blackfield Festival. With ample space for thousands of attendees, it offers a serene setting with passing boats and wildlife sightings. This outdoor venue provides great views for concerts and has been praised for its amazing acoustics. While some suggest more facilities like toilets would enhance the experience, many visitors find it to be an absolutely fantastic location for events.
One of the nicest venues for an outdoor concert. The location is great and good views for just about everyone. sounds was also amazing. We were there on one of the hottest days of the year to see Nightwish and it was just a magical night
Little R — Google review
I went for Klash of the Ruhrpott 2024 and the bands were amazing... Tankard, Destruction, Sodom and Kreator, all together. The scenery with the Emscher river is really nice and overall is a nice place. The many problems here are with the organization: only cash payments everywhere, expensive €4 deposit for hardcups, only one hose for water on the hot weather with very long queues and finally they cancelled the Kreator concert 1 hour before the end because of a thunderstorm warning (OK, fine, it was a great storm but we got insanely wet outside with no possibility of getting a bus - which should have been organized to Gelsenkirchen or Essen stations).
If you organize festivals, rain is a thing. It can happen and you can be prepared for it.
So, not appropiate for extremely hot or rainy weather.
Came from the UK for tonight's event. Missed the first act as the queues for parking were non-moving for over 30 minutes. Also found that all food and drink stalls are cash only, which was not advised in advance by venue or ticket seller. Now here all night with not even water to drink, not ideal.
What an absolute amazing and stunning location, had a blast. More toilets would be nice tho
Geile Location Blackfield Festival und Rock Hard

Not child friendly! Absolute worse place. Lady was super nasty to my daughter cause she didn't play it how the lady wanted it. Even tho she never played before. We extra went when it was empty so she had her time to learn but the lady was so nasty we just left. Never again
(Translated by Google) The tracks are older and not accessible (no concrete), but that was completely fine for us. Smaller children may have difficulties here. Overall the condition was solid - minor defects did not significantly disrupt the game. The lawn was well-kept, with only a few bare spots visible. There were enough benches and chairs to rest or wait.
There were three of us (2 adults, 1 child) and paid a fair €13.50. The employees were very friendly and briefly explained the process to us. We were the first to get started at 2 p.m. sharp - before that we tidied up, cleaned and trimmed some of the lawn.
Over the course of the afternoon the place filled up and by the end there were probably around 30 visitors. The weather was sunny and a pleasant 20 degrees – ideal for mini golf. At the end there was ice cream for everyone. A lovely trip – we’d love to come back!
(Original)
Die Bahnen sind zwar schon älter und nicht begehbar (kein Beton), aber für uns war das vollkommen in Ordnung. Kleinere Kinder könnten hier eventuell Schwierigkeiten haben. Insgesamt war der Zustand solide – kleinere Mängel störten das Spiel nicht wesentlich. Der Rasen war gepflegt, nur vereinzelt sah man kahle Stellen. Es gab genug Bänke und Stühle zum Ausruhen oder Warten.
Wir waren zu dritt (2 Erwachsene, 1 Kind) und zahlten faire 13,50€. Die Mitarbeitenden waren sehr freundlich und erklärten uns kurz den Ablauf. Pünktlich um 14:00 Uhr durften wir als Erste loslegen – davor wurde noch aufgeräumt, geputzt und etwas Rasen gestutzt.
Im Laufe des Nachmittags füllte sich der Platz, am Ende waren es bestimmt rund 30 Besucher. Das Wetter war sonnig bei angenehmen 20 Grad – ideal fürs Minigolf. Zum Abschluss gab es für jeden noch ein Eis. Ein schöner Ausflug – wir kommen gerne wieder!
(Translated by Google) The railway is in poor condition. The Eternit plates are crooked and broken in many ways. An obstacle (kidney) is missing on lane 11 and in many places the lanes have been repaired poorly and really poorly. I can't say the staff was friendly. Despite requests for more than one, groups are only given one ball. This slows down the game. A really unkempt facility with weeds in the lanes, which only underlines this. The entrance fee is really not justified for such a facility!
(Original)
Die Bahn ist in schlechtem Zustand. Die Eternit-Platten sind schief und auf vielen Bahnen gebrochen. Auf Bahn 11 fehlt ein Hindernis (Niere) und an vielen Stellen sind die Bahnen notdürftig und wirklich mangelhaft geflickt worden. Ich kann nicht sagen, dass das Personal freundlich war. Auch gibt es für Gruppen, trotz Bitte um mehr als einen, nur einen Ball. Dies hält im Spiel sehr auf. Eine wirklich ungepflegte Anlage mit Unkraut in den Bahnen, das dies alles nur noch unterstreicht. Der Eintrittspreis ist für so eine Anlage wirklich nicht gerechtfertigt!
(Translated by Google) The lanes are showing their age. The price is €5 per game. There are no tables or seating available if you come with a group.
(Original)
Bahnen sind in die Jahre gekommen. Preis 5euro pro Spiel. Keine Tische und Sitzmöglichkeiten vorhanden wenn man mit der Gruppe kommt.

Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich, die Bahnen sind leider nicht in gutem Zustand. Preis ist wie fast überall gleich.
(Translated by Google) Not recommended!!! The lady demands that 5 year old children (who are playing mini golf for the first time) be able to do it perfectly. We were alone on the mini golf course so we thought we had enough time for the child to try it out. The owner became extremely rude on the second ride and said the following in front of the child: “Other children of that age can do it perfectly. She doesn’t even understand that the ball has to go into the hole.” The child was also not allowed to try the track a second time even though it was a difficult looping track. Apparently fun is not allowed here! We left again after the second train. I have never experienced such rude treatment.
(Original)
Nicht zu empfehlen!!! Die Dame verlangt von 5 jährigen Kindern (die zum ersten Mal Minigolf spielen) es perfekt zu können. Wir waren alleine auf dem Minigolf-Platz sodass wir dachten wir hätten genug Zeit dass das Kind es ausprobieren kann. Die Besitzerin ist bereits bei der zweiten Bahn extrem unhöflich geworden und hat vor dem Kind folgendes gesagt: “Andere Kinder in dem Alter können das schon perfekt. Die versteht ja noch nicht mal das der Ball ins Loch muss.”. Auch durfte das Kind die Bahn nicht ein zweites Mal versuchen obwohl es eine schwierige Looping Bahn war. Spaß ist hier anscheinend nicht erlaubt! Wir sind nach der zweiten Bahn wieder gegangen. So einen unhöflichen Umgang habe ich noch nie erlebt.
(Translated by Google) Nice place, relatively well maintained.
We were here with two children, 4 and 8 years old.
At the beginning the lady was constantly behind us to give instructions. But then we were able to “shake them off” and have fun. That's what we were here for and not to play according to the rules of the international mini golf association 😏.

Park
Von-Wedelstaedt Park is a small but charming park featuring a pond, fountain, playground, and lush greenery. It's conveniently located along a bike path and offers clean pathways with benches for resting. While the pond may have been overgrown with algae in 2020, the park is generally well-maintained and perfect for leisurely walks or cycling. With its serene atmosphere and beautiful trees, it's an ideal spot for relaxation and enjoying nature.
Green park, very good for walking, cycling, relaxing. Lots of trees, lots of greenery. I like that it is maintained and cared for.

Kinderland Nordsternpark is a delightful destination for families seeking a fun-filled day outdoors. This expansive area offers an array of activities that will keep children entertained, including sand pits, swings, and slides. While the little ones play to their hearts' content, parents can relax under the shade of trees or enjoy a picnic at one of the many designated spots. The park also features a small body of water where visitors often gather, although swimming is not permitted.

(Translated by Google) Nice place for large groups to have a picnic. Grilling, camping and a lot of other things are forbidden, but they don't detract from the fun.
Only, especially if you read some of the comments here, dog owners seem to view this meadow as a dog meadow and let their dogs run around freely here. But since there is no fence or sign, they violate the leash requirement.
There were no dogs around while I was there.
Two benches for such a large area are really not enough. Added to this is the lack of garbage containers. As there are on almost every bench on the hiking trail to the playground. A bad weather event or two of them wouldn't be bad either. It's almost 2 kilometers to the parking lot.
(Original)
Schöner Platz für große Gruppen zum Picknicken. Grillen, Zelten und noch einiges andere ist zwar verboten, tut aber der Freude keinen Abbruch.
Einzig, besonders wenn man hier einige Kommentare liest, scheinen Hundebesitzer diese Wiese als Hundewiese zu betrachten und lassen ihre Hunde hier frei rum laufen. Doch da es keinen Zaun und auch kein Schild gibt, verstossen sie gegen die Leinenpflicht.
Während ich dort zu Besuch war, waren keine Hunde unterwegs.
Zwei Bänke für eine so große Fläche, sind echt zu wenig. Dazu kommt noch das Fehlen von Müll Behältern. Wie es die an fast jeder Sitzbank auf dem Wanderweg zur Spielwiese gibt. Auch nicht schlecht wäre ein Schlechtwetter unterstand oder zwei davon. Den bis zum Parkplatz sind es knapp 2 Kilometer.
(Translated by Google) Nice dog run area with benches and trees for training and nose work, unfortunately piles of poop like almost everywhere these days. Today only encounters with unfriendly, aggressive people and also unsocialized dogs - but unfortunately that suited the owners, or like people, often the dog too. In the past I have also met great dogs and people. Unfortunately my little daughter was there today, but she sees perfectly how raising dogs and interacting with them is NOT possible.

I was actually overwhelmed by the place. It had everything and in a cool and serene environment
(Translated by Google) It's not what it used to be. Still a nice place to stay.
However, the rental of the apartment appears to be based exclusively on economic interests on the part of GGW as the landlord. The original idea no longer seems to have been taken into account. This location basically offers a great opportunity to create a great and communal living environment for all residents. The GGW obviously does not select potential tenants who are interested in something like this, so anonymity is now desired and encouraged there.
Too bad, opportunity wasted.
(Original)
Ist nicht mehr das, was es mal war. Trotzdem ein schöner Ort, an dem man wohnen kann.
Die Vermietung der Wohnung scheint seitens der GGW als Vermieter jedoch ausschließlich wirtschaftlichen Interessen geschuldet zu sein. Auf den ursprünglichen Gedanken scheint man keinerlei Rücksicht mehr genommen zu haben. Dieser Ort bietet grundsätzlich eine tolle Gelegenheit, ein tolles und gemeinschaftliches Wohnumfeld für alle Bewohner zu schaffen. Eine Auswahl der potentiellen Mieter, die an so etwas Interesse haben, wird offensichtlich von der GGW nicht vorgenommen, so dass Anonymität dort inzwischen wohl gewünscht ist und so gefördert wird.
Schade, Chance vertan.

Art gallery
(Translated by Google) Professional and warm at the same time!
The tour through the exhibition was exciting and informative - not without a touch of humor.
The gallery owner is not fixated on one genre, but likes to show a wide variety of artists, thereby proving how broad her specialist knowledge is
The openings are a happening!
Personal advice afterwards was great.
Thank you very much and gladly again at any time!!!

Die Galeristin ist nicht auf ein Genre fixiert, sondern zeigt gerne die verschiedensten Künstler: innen und beweist damit wie breit gefächert ihr Fachwissen ist
Die Vernissagen sind ein Happening !
Eine persönliche Beratung im Nachhinein war top.
Vielen Dank und jederzeit gerne wieder !!!
