‍TheMax Ernst Museum Brühl des LVR） is the only museum dedicated to the life and work of internationally renowned artist Max Ernst (1891-1976) born in Brühl. The collection provides an overview of some 70 years of work for the surrealist and Dadaist.

Numerous paintings, drawings, frottages and collages immerse visitors in the imaginative, surreal pictorial worlds of world citizen Max Ernst and demonstrate the artist's inventiveness. An ensemble of more than 70 bronze plastics and sculptures, drawn from his personal estate, opens up his sculptural work over decades. Also at the heart of the permanent collection are 36 "D-paintings," birthday and love gifts from Max Ernst to his fourth wife, the artist Dorothea Tanning.

The collection on Max Ernst is regularly supplemented by temporary exhibitions by international contemporary artists. An extensive children and family program with workshops in the creative workshop "Fantasy Labor" complete the exhibition and event offerings.
