Von der Heydt Museum

From my experience in many galleries, not only in Europe, I have to say that I consider it extremely rude, unprofessional, and even fraudulent if a gallery charges full admission even when some of its exhibitions are inaccessible. This art museum is mediocre and boring. A city as beautiful and dynamic as Wuppertal deserves much better. If this were a commercial event, I would ask for a refund of the entrance fee.
Don't expect much, and hopefully, you will be satisfied. Have high expectations, and you will experience equally high disappointment as I did.

Mostly very abstract modern art works (objects, pictures, photos) and a few older paintings. To me it was not worth the effort of visiting; a waste of time and money.

Well curated artworks and beautiful architecture! I especially liked the Dutch Golden Age exhibition. Some of the supervisors took their job a bit too seriously and followed you wherever you went, especially when you were alone in the room— this, unfortunately, made the visit a bit uncomfortable as I was not able to take proper notes due to being watched excessively. The woman who supervised the Dutch Golden Age part of the museum was very friendly and knowledgeable though and I really enjoyed chatting with her about the paintings. I can definitely recommend this museum and the current exhibitions. If you are a bit younger than the usual audience (old people to sum it up), be aware that the guards might have some distrust in you for no apparent reason and will follow you around a bit too much than necessary.

Extremely annoyed and annoying staff looking like we really bothered them by visiting, esp. the ladies in the section on Dutch painting. I haven't met such rude and ill-mannered museum staff in a very long time. Just a suggestion - if you keep the museum closed to the public, no-one will keep the custodians from chatting, browsing and commenting on Facebook, the paintings will be secured and visitors would not have to get such experience when they simply want to enjoy art.

They have a van Gogh, not one I'd seen before but it lit up the room when I walked in. And they have a Monet, not one that I had ever seen before, but unmistakenly Monet.
