As one of the three major museums in Cologne, Wallraf-Richartz Museum contains a gallery with fine art representing the medieval period to early 20th century. The museum's collection began to come together in 1824, although it didn't move to its current location until 2001. In that year, it also gained a comprehensive collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works on permanent loan from Gérard Corboud. Consider getting a Museum Card, which allows access to this and many other museums in the city.

This is an excellent museum with high quality art and a local focus. So much of the art is from Cologne, so it is almost like getting a local history lesson while enjoying the amazing art. Top notch!

So big! Lots of rooms with beautiful paintings. There's 4 stores, each representing a historical period. The "Medieval paintings" are very interesting, but it gets tiresome fast, I would recommend to not spend a lot of time on this exhibition.

Lovely exhibition. With a lot of explanation and information. Highly recommended! Quite a decent selection of impressionists' pieces.
