"Worth a visit. Entertaining. Best in Combination with Bauhaus Museum."
Björn Fricke
"Excellent museum, put modern art into context (would recommend before Bauhaus museum). I didn't use the app as I don't really like using them. Was enough information in English to understand - videos were in German, but from my very patchy German and the visuals, I was able to piece together what was being said. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. One helped me reopen my locker as I have a disability that makes handling locks difficult. Highly recommended, will visit again."
