Wallraf - Richartz Museum

4 Viktoria Kovacheva - 4 weeks ago

Although it is not completely open right now (one floor is under construction when I visited) I still really enjoyed it! The first floor is dedicated to old religious paintings. The second floor was my favourite because it had paintings from the baroque period. I particularly enjoyed reading about how paintings are analysed in order to understand how they were painted as well as if they are real.

Museum is simply superb. It is not too big, but well structured and has some stunning pieces of art ranging from Middle Ages to XIX century Impressionism. It is well structured, many items have short, useful descriptions.

Pretty Small but good museum. The entrance is kind of Obscure and at the moment there's a lot of construction in the area so the doors are even more obscure. They have a nice collection with a few famous artists: Monet, Manet, Van Gogh (early piece), Renior... It was Amazing to be able to walk around some of their triptychs in the medieval period. The information for the artworks were English friendly! The museum has a QR code for an app you can download but it's not an English friendly app at all. You can't even copy the info to Google translate it. There wasn't much on the app but could have been interesting.

The collection was great, a small museum with a tight knit collection spread over a few floors. However it was hard to enjoy it when I had a bad experience with the reception and ticket staff. They were very rude, and I don't think they could've cared less, did not feel welcome. Would've given it two stars but their collection is their saving grace.

I very much like the presentation. Very modern, a very nice atmosphere, good lighting. I can only recommend to plan spending some time there.

It gave me a fascinating experience. The museum contains painting arts from middle age, to Baroque and to finish with 19th century. It certainly doesn’t have those famous paintings, but they reveal the changes of painting pattern/skills over centuries in a really good and attractive way. I believe that the gallery for Baroque period is the most impressive one. They provide some small “play” for you to see the wonderful interaction between light/shade and the painting of real objects, which is the main feature of Baroque arts. I arrived around noon, and no one was there, so I was lucky to enjoy the whole museum peacefully. When I came out, sometime around 2pm, the lobby was crowded with tourists.
