Museum Küppersmühle

Building: Museum Küppersmühle

Location: Duisburg

Architect: Herzog & De Meuron

Year of completion: 2000

Comments: The staircase is stunning and this seems to be what most visitors come for. Empty museums can invite contemplation, but they also tend to make me kind of sad. The artworks, which were made to be seen, suddenly look very pretentious and paradoxically, loose their meaning, becoming just paint on canvas or a block of wood.
