Discovering the subject matter

Dive into the collections. Here we let you explore the objects’ histories and their connections to our everyday lives, and give you the opportunity to get creative.

We also provide you with a multimedia programme so that you can prepare for or reflect on your visit to the museum from your own home or on the go.

Immerse yourself in our collections

The centrepiece of Cologne’s museums

Collecting is one of the chief objectives of museums, and our institutions’ collections are high-quality and world-renowned. Because only a small portion of our collections can be on display at a time, we give you all manner of digital access to many highlights and other objects not currently on display so that you can learn more about them.

Exploring a wide range of subjects

What does this have to do with me?

We want to help you explore art, history, and objects on an even footing. This is why we regularly focus on subjects that have a connection with our everyday lives – and we show you what our museums have on display. This makes it possible for you to make your own connections and discover all sorts of new objects and ideas. You will also discover stories that connect our museums and collections.

Senses

We smell, taste, see, hear, and feel. The sum of these sensory perceptions helps us experience the world around us. We invite you to dive into the world of the senses.
