The Museum as a Stage of Duisburg's Memory

The Cultural and City Historical Museum at the inner harbor connects city history, cultural heritage, and illustrative exhibition design. Its location at Johannes-Corputius-Platz makes the visit particularly appealing: Between the Old Town, inner harbor, and historic city wall unfolds a place where Duisburg's development from early history to the present comes alive.

History to Touch in the Money Themed Room

The permanent exhibition Cash! takes visitors through the world history of money and shows why value arises not only materially but also culturally. The tour with Roland Wolf combines expertise, vivid examples, and local history into a compact cultural event of high experiential value. This mixture of knowledge, atmosphere, and museum visit is what makes it appealing.
