\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Most famous exhibit:<\/strong> The heart of the collection lies in the informal and abstract painters, the &#8220;founding fathers&#8221; of German post-war art such as Willi Baumeister, K.O. G\u00f6tz or Emil Schumacher and their European colleagues, Emilio Vedova, Maria Helena Vieira Da Silva or Wols.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Annual number of visitors:<\/strong> Within the first month since the opening of the new extension, around 10,000 visitors from Germany and abroad came to marvel at the &#8220;new&#8221; K\u00fcppersm\u00fchle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From flour mill to museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The building:<\/strong> The majestic brick building that houses the museum is reminiscent of the Tate Modern in London and that&#8217;s no coincidence: Duisburg&#8217;s K\u00fcppersm\u00fchle, once a grain mill from 1860, is the result of the skillful redesign of an existing industrial building by star architects, Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron. The Swiss artists are also responsible for the extension. At first glance it looks as if the new building has always been there. The interior is also spectacular. A striking, sweeping staircase connects all floors of the new area.
