From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Museum Ludwig, located in Cologne, Germany, houses a collection of modern art. It includes works from PopArt, Abstract and Surrealism, and has one of the largest Picasso collections in Europe. It also features many works by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.

The museum emerged in 1976 as an independent instituition from the Wallraf-Richartz Museum. It essentially incorporates the Sammlung Haubrich, a collection by Josef Haubrich of art from the years 1914 to 1939 donated to the city of Cologne on 2 May 1946.

Another integral part of the museum is the Sammlung Ludwig, a collection of art by Picasso, Russian avant-garde and American Pop-art artists.
