Discover the cultural effervescence of Essen, the beating heart of the North Rhine-Westphalia region in Germany. This city, once a hub of the mining industry, now shines for its artistic heritage. The masterpiece is undoubtedly the Zeche Zollverein complex, a former coal mine transformed into an iconic cultural center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which houses the Red Dot Design Museum, a temple of contemporary design.
No less fascinating is the Folkwang Museum, a treasure trove of modern art, where works by Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso enchant art lovers. Its compelling exhibitions and permanent collections make it a landmark for enthusiasts of modern and contemporary art.
Walking through the streets of Essen, art also manifests itself outdoors with sculptures and monuments that tell the city's history. The Essen Cathedral, with its treasure of sacred art, and the old synagogue, now a museum of Jewish culture, are witnesses to the city's rich historical and cultural wealth.
