Ludwig Forum Aachen: Contemporary Art in a Former Factory

At the Ludwig Forum, you’ll encounter international contemporary art in a building that once served as an umbrella factory. The collection of Peter and Irene Ludwig forms the core of the museum and features works ranging from Pop Art to photorealism, as well as art from Europe and beyond. As you walk through the museum, a broad perspective on artistic developments since the 1960s unfolds, reinterpreted here in rotating exhibitions. The blend of industrial architecture and experimental art creates an atmosphere where past and present engage in dialogue. The Forum is a place where ideas coalesce and art becomes a tangible reflection of its time.

Special offer for groups: Visit the museum together in the morning
For booked groups and upon prior registration for public tours and courses, the Ludwig Forum is also open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
