LE MUSÉE KÜPPERSMÜHLE

The Museum of Modern Art in Duisburg, recognizable by its red bricks at the water's edge, is located on the port of Duisburg in a gigantic 19th century industrial building that served as a grain mill. In 1999, the architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron (who designed the Tate Modern in London) renovated the building and transformed it into a modern venue, as evidenced by the large concrete staircase inside, a true work of art. More recently, the duo expanded the museum with a new extension. The place is dedicated to the Ströher collection and brings together the works of many German artists of the second half of the 19th century.
