Goethe Museum Düsseldorf

The Goethe Museum is a cultural-historical museum devoted to the greatest German poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832). It is funded by the Anton and Katharina Kippenberg Foundation and the City of Düsseldorf. The collection is based on what was at the time the largest private collection on Goethe and his time, acquired by the publisher Anton Kippenberg (1874-1950). It consists of manuscripts, books, art, arts and crafts, and a research library.
