About NRW-Forum Düsseldorf

A dynamic culture and digital media centre in the Ehrenhof parkland beside the K20, presenting photography, digital art, design, and pop culture in an elegant neoclassical building.

The NRW-Forum Düsseldorf is a culture and digital media centre situated in the Ehrenhof, the elegant neoclassical parkland ensemble built for the 1926 "GeSoLei" (Health, Social Welfare and Physical Exercise Exhibition). The forum occupies one of the two symmetrical neoclassical buildings flanking the central pool and garden of the Ehrenhof, and presents a varied programme of photography, digital and new media art, design, illustration, and popular culture. Unlike the K20 and K21 which focus on fine art and contemporary art, the NRW-Forum takes a broader view of visual culture, frequently presenting exhibitions on fashion photography, digital interactive art, computer game design, advertising, and popular music. The venue also hosts concerts, film screenings, and live events, making it one of the most programmatically varied cultural spaces in the city.

Did you know? The NRW-Forum's building is part of the Ehrenhof ensemble, originally built for the 1926 GeSoLei, a massive health and social welfare exhibition that attracted millions of visitors.
