Metropole Ruhr Guide

A treasure chest full of art, theatre and music
Theatres in castles, music under trees and museums in former industrial plants: the
range of art and culture on offer in the Ruhr region is as diverse as the towns themselves.
Top-class exhibitions, thrilling drama and international artists alternate with
colourful variety shows, summer music festivals, cabaret and classical concerts.
Whether to the museum, with friends to the Poetry Slam or stylishly to the theatre -
in the mixed bag of culture there is something for every taste.
The Ruhr area’s museum landscape is particularly varied with the RuhrKunstMuseen
network. From the history of the region to modern art history, large and small
museums show new perspectives of old masters and young up-and-coming artists
in numerous permanent and temporary exhibitions.
Great theatres can be found under the umbrella of the RuhrBühnen. Literary
evenings, chamber plays and artistic ballet as well as philharmonic concerts and
sonorous operas attract numerous visitors to the halls every year.
