The Museum Ludwig, situated in the very heart of Cologne, a house for 20th century art and contemporary art designed in 1986 by architects Peter Bussmann and Godfrid Haberer. It stands strong right between the medieval Cologne Cathedral, the Rhine river and the central train station. Together the museum and the Dom neatly bookend the city's art history, from the 13th century to the present day. 
If you get the chance, visit ALIBIS, a retrospective of Sigmar Polke's paintings, films, drawings, sculptures,... on display until the 5th of July.
