CultureVisit: ~90 minFrom €9
Art museum of the Archdiocese of Cologne, opened in 2007 in a building by the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, built on the ruins of the Gothic church of St Kolumba, destroyed in the war. It shows art from late Antiquity to today, without separating it by period. Its light grey brick façade and the light that enters through the walls are its best-known hallmark.
