Museum for East-Asian Arts — Attraction in Cologne

A wonderful place exhibing East Asian pieces. It is quite well organised and welcoming on the interior, with a charming cafe in the foyer, also giving a window on the picturesque garden. The museum has a stable collection open to visits for all the time, aswell as a temporary section changing yearly. The one for this year is called "drunk on sobriety" and it showcases the role of drinks such as alcohol and tea in the works of the artists.

The halls inside are quite charming, with plenty of seats and books to read, regarding the topics. My visit there has been fulfilling, and I recommend it to everyone with a passion for East Asia, or an aesthetic taste...

But my opinion to the whole concept stays. You should not ever say that you are talking about East Asian if it is only (majorly) included China, Japan n Korea. Or should someone open a South East Asian...

Awesome museum about asiatics arts and objects. The museum is not very big as some other people mentionned, but the pieces are of great quality. You can find in this museum Chinese, Korean and Japanese objects, all of this on spread on a thousand year. I really enjoyed my visit there and learned a lot for sure!

I had also the opportunity to see the exhibition (this part of my content may not be up to date in the future as exhibitions change), about contemporain artist. I was not huge fan of what those artists did, but I'm sure some people car enjoy it and it was a nice addition to the museum as there is no additional fees to see the exhibition.

The museum itself looks very nice, with a garden in its center, and a lake next to it. The museum itself felt very calm and can even be a place to relax as there is a...
