🇩🇪 Industrial Power - World Cultural Heritage Half-Day Tour - Essen

🚉 Transportation guide It only takes 20 minutes to take the Straßenbahn from the center of Essen to the museum campus, and the buses are very frequent, so it is very convenient. 📷Local attractions It turns out that this museum campus is one of the world cultural heritage sites! This park is called UNESCO-Welterbe Zollverein Translated into Chinese as "Ruhr Area Customs Union Coal Mine Industrial Building Complex" It contains several museums 📍Ruhr Museum 📍Red Dot Museum 📍Folkwang Museum ✨ Ruhr Museum This exhibition hall is unique in that it is located in an old coal mine building that has been revitalized and converted. This interesting industrial building was formerly a coal washing plant. The most impressive thing is seeing huge industrial machines with your own eyes, as well as hearing and smelling experiences, making visitors feel like they have returned to the industrial era. ✨ Red Dot Museum I have heard about "Thank you for the products winning the Red Dot Design Award" before, and now I have the opportunity to see these products in Essen. The Red Dot Museum displays around 2,000 outstandingly designed and innovative objects and products from 45 different countries, ranging from everyday applications to special exhibits 🍴 Catering and restaurants Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed when I visited. There seemed to be a bar-like restaurant that served burgers. 🛍️ Shopping Guide The first building you reach straight from the entrance has various souvenirs: postcards, tote bags, magnets, etc. I haven’t seen souvenirs available for purchase in other museums. 🗒️ Postscript While taking the train, a local old man heard that we wanted to visit here. He was very happy and said that many Germans don’t know how great this park is and have never even been to the city of Essen. # germany # germany travel # museum # go to the museum to explore # essen # culture # world cultural heritage
