Haus der Geschichte Nordrhein-Westfalen
The Haus der Geschichte Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf is a dynamic museum dedicated to the state’s modern history. Located in the historic Behrensbau on the Rhine embankment, this institution explores the evolution of North Rhine-Westphalia through the lens of democracy, diversity, and transformation. Originally designed by Peter Behrens in 1910 for the Mannesmann company, the building later served as the residence of NRW’s Minister Presidents. Today, it houses exhibitions that vividly portray political milestones, social movements, and cultural shifts that have shaped the region since its founding in 1946. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions and digital outreach programs, making history accessible to a broad audience. Its mission, established by the state parliament in 2019, is to foster public understanding of NRW’s identity and legacy.
