Experience Ludwigshafen's world-class museum of modern and contemporary art with an exclusive private curator-led tour through Picasso, Miró, Léger, and a dazzling Miró-designed ceramic facade. A true insider art encounter steps from the river.
What to expect
A 5-minute taxi ride from the cruise pier delivers you to the museum's striking facade, entirely clad in a monumental Joan Miró and Josef Llorens Artigas ceramic mural — 100 metres of hand-painted earthenware, a masterpiece in itself. Inside, your curator moves through the permanent collection chronologically, pausing on key Cubist canvases and the rare Concrete Art holdings. A highlight is the intimate room of Paul Klee works, given context through personal anecdotes from the collection's acquisition history. Conclude with a coffee in the museum's sunlit courtyard before a leisurely riverside walk back to the ship.
Good to know
Contact the museum directly at info@wilhelmhack.museum to arrange a private English-language curator tour — these must be booked at least 2 weeks in advance.
