Germany at a Glance

60 Museum Ludwig The Museum Ludwig was founded in 1976 with the gift of around 350 works of modern art by the Ludwig couple. It was the first museum in Cologne to exhibit modern art. Alongside pop art works, the Ludwigs also gave the museum an extensive collection of Russian Avantgarde paintings from the era 1906 to 1930 as well as several hundred works by Pablo Picasso on permanent loan. The modern art department of the Wallraf- Richartz-Museum with the expressionist collection of the Cologne lawyer Joseph Haubrich forms the basis for the collection of modern art and has since been integrated into the Ludwig Museum. Roy Lichtenstein's Maybe , Andy Warhol's Brillo Boxes or George Segal's The Restaurant Window – icons of American pop art – belong to the most famous works of the museum. • www.museum-ludwig.de Romano-Germanic Museum The Roman-Germanic Museum is an important archaeological museum in Cologne. It has a large collection of Roman artifacts from the Roman settlement of Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium, on which modern Cologne is built. The museum protects the original site of a Roman town villa and houses examples of art, culture and everyday life in Roman times. A highlight is the worldwide largest collection of Roman glass and especially the portrait miniature of Emperor Augustus in turquoise glass. • www.roemisch-germanisches-museum.de 6 7
