Looking up - Museum Kuppersmühle
According to the museums homepage, it is a striking 19th century industrial monument . Built as mill, it was operated as such for over 100 years until 1972.
Based on the master plan by Sir Norman Foster, the former industrial wasteland of Duisburg’s inner harbour, where the museum lies, was changed into an area on the waterfront – with offices, appartements, gastronomy and cultural facilities
The architects Herzog & de Meuron were commissioned with the conversion of the museum itself.
It features continuous white walls up to 6 m high, the floor grey and a sequence of spacious room areas. As a connection to outsidethere are only window slits .
Appart from the art displayed, the museum also attracts many architecture-loving visitors, not least because of the stair towers.
