Cologne - This Museum Ludwig was a short walking distance to the Cologne cathedral. The entrance to this museum was euro 12. This museum houses a collection of modern art. It includes works from Pop Art, Abstract and Surrealism, and has one of the largest Picasso collections in Europe.

| Art is what you make it to be |
To me Art is what you imagine it to be, or be in the shoes of the artist when he created it and imagine his thoughts when he worked on the art. I begin to appreciate art as I travel as it opens different perspective and human possibilities of creation.

This portrait is of a mother carrying her baby on her back but is there another child?
These are some of the works of the famous Spanish artist - Pablo Picasso. Irene Ludwig, widow of the chocolate magnate and art collector Peter Ludwig, donated 774 pieces to a museum named after her late husband.

| pop art section |
There was a big section for Ursula Schultze-Bluhm, who is known simply as Ursula, was one of the most important German artists of the second half of the twentieth century. She was born in Mittenwalde, Germany, in 1921 and died in Cologne in 1999.
Ursula’s life and work offer an unconventional narrative of artistic independence. Her art exemplifies the idea that Surrealism is not a style, but an attitude.
I spent more an hour walking around the different gallery of this museum, feeling tired and decided to walk back to the hotel.
