THE ART museum in Essen!
You have to visit regularly. The collection can be viewed free of charge, the temporary exhibitions cost.
In the last few years there has been no real "burner" about Keith Haring, who at least "makes a difference in size and color".
The collection is always worth visiting.

"... The Museum Folkwang - in the Old Norse verse epic Edda, the term Folkvangar (people's hall) refers to the palace of the goddess Freya - was founded in 1902 by Karl Ernst Osthaus (1874-1921) in the Westphalian industrial town of Hagen Student of art history, literature and philosophy received through an inheritance.From its beginnings as an art collection with natural history and arts and crafts departments, it has quickly developed into a pioneering museum for modern art in Germany.The Museum Folkwang was the first public collection in Germany to acquire and exhibit Works by the pioneers of modernism Cézanne, Gauguin, van Gogh and Matisse.After the death of the museum's founder in 1921, the Osthaus collection was acquired for the city of Essen by the newly founded Folkwang-Museumsverein, a progressive initiative of art-loving citizens of Essen and in 1922 with the since 1906 existing municipal art museum combined to form the Museum Folkwang. ..."

The new building of the Folkwangmuseum was opened in 2010. The building was designed by star architect David Chipperfield and is adorned with works of art that are considerably more worth seeing than the building from the outside.
