Dortmund - Museum Ostwall

The Museum Ostwall is a museum of modern and contemporary art. It was founded in the late 1940s on Ostwall (a street along the old city wall) to create a space for the exhibition of modern art that had been classified as "degenerate art" by the Nazis.

Since 2010, the museum has been located on the 4th and 5th floors of the Dortmunder U, a former and now extensively renovated brewery building.
