Muenster, the cultural centre of Westphalia, is a city with a population of more than 250.000 of which nearly 50.000 are students at the University of Muenster. This surely helped Muenster to gain the status of the "bicycle capital of Germany". The "Westphalian State Museum of Art and Cultural History" dates back to the 19th century and owes its existence largely to the contributions of local art associations. The Westphalian Art Association, founded in 1831, played a crucial role in collecting and preserving regional art. The museum has undergone several renovations, including the construction of a new building, which opened in September 2014. The museum displays artworks from the early Middle Ages to the present day. Its collection comprises more than 300,000 exhibits. Gabriele Münter ( 1877 – 1962 ) Grabkreuze / Grave Crosses / 1909

Wuppertal, a city with around 360,000 inhabitants, is located south of the Ruhr area. Wuppertal was one of the first highly industrialized regions in Germany. The cityscape is dominated by the valley of the Wupper River which winds its way through the city for around 20 km. The "Schwebebahn", a suspension railway, in operation since 1901, is the city's landmark and most famous attraction. It is the oldest suspension railway still in operation. Most of the13km- route runs above the Wupper River. The Von der Heydt Museum was founded in 1902 as a municipal museum. Since 1961, it has borne the name von der Heydt in memory of the banking family that played an important role in promoting the museum. During the Nazi era, numerous works in the Von der Heydt Museum were confiscated as “degenerate art” and subsequently sold or destroyed.

The founding of the original three museums dates back to the citizens of the city and to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who stayed in Wiesbaden in 1814/1815 and persuaded two Frankfurt collectors to donate their extensive collections of artworks and antiques to the Duchy of Nassau in exchange for the payment of a lifelong pension. The museum's art collection dates back to the former collection of on of them, Johann Isaak von Gerning. Through purchases, donations, and loans, the art collection has become one of the most important in Germany, especially in the area of the 19th and 20th centuries. The museum, which celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2025, opened the exhibition “Feininger, Münter, Modersohn-Becker...” in September. The subtitle was “How does art get into the museum?” and referred to the many donations that made this exhibition possible.

Madrid is the capital and most populous city of Spain. The city has almost 3.4 million inhabitants and a metropolitan area population of approximately 6.7 million. Madrid is part of the historical landscape of Castile and is located in the middle of the Meseta, the plateau of Castile. The site has been occupied since prehistoric times. The first document about the existence of an established settlement in Madrid dates from the Muslim age. In the second half of the 9th century Umayyad Emir Muhammad I built a fortress here. In 1083, Madrid was conquered by the Kingdom of Castile. In 1309, under Fernando IV, the Assembly of Estates (Cortes) of the Kingdom of Castile was convened for the first time in Madrid. In 1561, Philip II moved the royal court from Valladolid to Madrid. It became the de facto capital of Spain, which it remains to this day. The War of the Spanish Succession ended in 1714 with the Bourbons taking over the Spanish throne. Today's royal palace was built under their rule. Particularly during the reign of Charles III the city's public infrastructure was modernized and numerous public buildings were built. Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza The museum is named after its founder, Baron Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza. With over 1,600 paintings, it was once the second-largest private collection in the world. After Baron Thyssen, having unsuccessfully sought permission to enlarge his museum in Lugano, searched for a better-suited location elsewhere in Europe end of the 1980s. In 1985, the Baron had married Carmen "Tita" Cervera and introduced her to art collecting. Cervera's influence was decisive in persuading the Baron to relocate the core of his collection to Spain where the local government had a building available next to the Prado. The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum officially opened in 1992, showing 715 works of art. A year later, the Spanish Government bought 775 works for $350 million.These pieces are now in the purpose-built museum in Madrid. After the museum opened, in 1999, Cervera loaned 429 works of her own art collection to the museum for 11 years. The loan was renewed annually for free from 2012.

Düsseldorf is located at the confluence of the rivers Düssel and Rhein. Most of Düsseldorf is on the right bank of the Rhine. It is the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, has about 620,000 inhabitants and a large Japanese community and is the eternal rival of Cologne, about 40 km to the south. Both cities even prefer different types of beer. While "Kölsch" is drunk in Cologne, "Alt" is drunk in Düsseldorf. The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is the art collection of the German Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia. The Kunstsammlung was founded in 1961 by the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia for the purpose of displaying the art collection and expanding it through new acquisitions.
