At its futuristic European headquarters, tech-company Wacom has
built something of a hub for Düsseldorf’s switched-on creative
types. Alongside co-working spaces, you’ll find a VR room, podcast
recording studio and cinema with red velvet chairs – perfect for
hosting your next panel talk.

This ex-factory houses one of the world’s leading collections of
time-based art, as well as a vast reference library where creatives
can come to research their work. You can easily spend an entire
afternoon lost in video, sound and computer-based installations
dating from the Sixties to the present day.

Housed in the art museum’s K21 building, this is a light-flooded
wonderland filled with radical art from German names such as
Nicholas Grafia, Blinky Palermo and Jonathan Meese. Don’t miss the
chance to clamber on Tomás Saraceno’s bubble installation, which is
suspended 25m above the atrium.

Currently showing the exhibition Wonderwalls. Art & Toys,
this unusual art deco building is full of pop culture references
from recent decades, as well as thought- provoking pieces that
explore the latest developments in technology. A Hofgarten location
makes it ideal for a weekend wander.
