Wallraf-Richartz-Museum was started with a major art collection donated by a collector named Wallraf Richartz in 1824. It has since grown into one of the largest collections of classical paintings in Germany. Highlights include an impressive medieval painting collection, paintings by Rubens and Rembrandt, and paintings and sculpture by Romantic, Realist, and Impressionist artists The large graphic arts collection (75,000 items) can be seen on special request.

The museum was housed for decades in the same building as the Ludwig Museum, next to the Dom, but recently moved to its own modern building between the Rathaus and the Gürnzenich. If time is limited in Cologne, make this gallery a priority.
