Must-see attractions

Kunstmuseum Picasso

　　A treat for fans of Pablo Picasso, one of the 20th century's seminal artists, in this 18th-century neoclassical mansion whose changing exhibits are drawn from a prized collection of around 800 lithographic works. The museum also owns graphics by Georges Braque, Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse. 　　It's the only museum...

　　The two massive towers of Münster’s cathedral match the proportions of this 110m-long structure and the vast square it overlooks. It’s a three-nave construction built in the 13th century, when Gothic architecture began overtaking the Romanesque style in popularity. Enter from Domplatz via the porch (called the ‘Paradise’), richly festooned...

St Lambertikirche

　　One of Münster’s finest churches, the late-Gothic St Lambertikirche was built in 1450. It's filled with wonderful treasures but the most fascinating attraction is the three wrought-iron cages dangling from the openwork spire. They once displayed the corpses of Anabaptist ringleader Jan van Leyden and two of his cohorts who...

LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur
