In the location's words:

As a participatory museum, the Stadtmuseum is your platform for shaping urban processes. Starting with the collections of European significance from prehistory and early history to the present day, you can become not only viewers but also discussants, researchers and designers of your own city. The team of the Stadtmuseum, the Freundeskreis des Stadtmuseums Düsseldorf e.V., the Bund Deutscher Architekten, BDA Düsseldorf, the Keyworkers and other partners present a rich program on the collections of art, decorative arts, archaeology, photography and fashion. Visit the City Museum, create in the City Museum and enjoy the services of the City Museum.
