The Ehrenhof Museum Complex, located in the city of Dusseldorf, was formed in 1926 according to the project proposed by the architect Wilhelm Kreis. Located on the banks of the Rhine River, this complex has served for decades to raise the cultural level of city residents and tourists. At present, Ehrenhof unites several museums: there is a Palace of Arts and an art museum, as well as a large concert hall and an exhibition called People and Economy.

The basis of all Ehrenhof's expositions is a collection collected in the 18th century by the rather wealthy family of Jan Wellem. Here you can see more than 100 thousand sculptures and paintings, objects of art and graphics.

The Art Museum presents a collection of which contains unique paintings by famous artists who lived from the 16th to the 20th century. In another, no less fascinating exposition, you can trace the course of the city's development, starting from ancient times and ending with modern reality.

The Ehrenhof Museum Complex consists of four buildings, which are arranged in the form of a horseshoe. On the roof of one of the buildings there is a beautiful sculpture - "Aurora" by Arno Brecker. In the central part there is a beautiful fountain, where you can spend time with special pleasure on a hot summer day. Various sculptures are located not only in the interior of the museum complex, but also on the lawns of its courtyard. The most impressive in size is the statue of a rhinoceros.
