These include such famous institutions as the "Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen" (Art Collection Northrhine-Westphalia, the "Museum Kunstpalast" and the "NRW-Forum" (Northrhine-Westphalia Forum for Culture and Business).

The traditional shopping venues, such as the "Kö", the Old Town and Schadowstrasse, are today complemented by unconventional and young centres of fashion in such districts as Nord-Flingern and Unterbilk.
