In the page's words:

With its extensive archive and library holdings, the Heinrich Heine Institute of the state capital Düsseldorf is a center of international Heine research and also provides the basis for very different academic approaches with a number of other collection focuses, such as the Rheinisches Literaturarchiv and the Schumann collection.

The Institute's museum addresses the public with its permanent exhibition "Romanticism and Revolution. The Heine Exhibition" is aimed at a public interested in Heine, while changing special exhibitions provide information on topics arising from the Heine circle and the various Heine references, as well as from the museum's thematic focuses in the 20th century.

A regular program of events relates to the holdings of the archive and library, provides information on the state of research, accompanies the special exhibitions and offers a forum for critical literary communication and discussion.

The Schumann House invites visitors to bring the past back to life. From 1852, the musician couple Clara and Robert Schumann lived with their children at Bilker Straße 15. It is the only family home that has been preserved in its historical structure. Due to its special significance, the building - as exhibit number 1, so to speak - was renovated in line with its listed status and converted into a museum.

In eight themed rooms, visitors have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the musical culture of the 19th century and in particular in the intensive Düsseldorf phase of Robert and Clara Schumann's life and work.
