K21 Ständehaus

Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen | K21 Ständehaus , Ständehausstraße 1, 40217 Düsseldorf

The K21 in the historic Ständehaus is the museum for contemporary art, which hosts groundbreaking special exhibitions with internationally renowned artists in addition to its comprehensive and top-class collection.

The former parliament building on Kaiserteich, which was the seat of the State parliament until the late 1980s, today houses the department of contemporary art. A renovation completed in 2001 gave the building a glass and steel dome. In doing so, a new attic and a spacious exhibition area with natural light were created. In the meantime, connoisseurs meet in Pardo’s restaurant on the ground floor, which also leaves a lasting impression thanks to the artist Jorge Pardo’s psychedelic wall design.
