ludwiggalerie

We visited the gasometer and purchased the air package experience which included a visit to the ludwiggalerie. It is a good 15 mins walk from the gasometer and very badly indicated ,we were in a rush to take the train back and it was pouring down. When we arrived and realized it was only 1 small room with 4 drawings, we were not pleased. The gift shop has loads of lovely stuff though and the guy there was very friendly, that's why they got 2 stars because the 'exhibition' we saw was only worth 1 or none.

Oberhausen prooved to be more a shopping city than a cultural one. Knowing this, this museum was our rescue during our 2-day visit to this city. The exhibition that showed Marilyn Monroe through her main photographers was entertaining and It'll appeal to a lot of people. Nevertheless we were a bit disappointed that the museum had nothing else on show, like their own collection. We also had liked to go to the Gasometer, hut it appeared to be closed till March. Therefore this museum was the only cultural activity to do in the whole city.

Wir haben die Ludwiggalerie für die Andy Warhol Ausstellung besucht. Diese findet auf 3 Etagen statt und zeigt Bilder aus den verschiedenen Schaffensperioden des Künstlers. Es gibt jedoch lediglich spärliche Informationen, sodass man nach ca. 1 Stunde mit der Ausstellung durch ist. Es wird noch ein 4-stündiger Film gezeigt, den man sich anschauen kann. Für einen Eintrittpreis von 8 € ist es dennoch lohnenswert.
