Max Ernst Museum
The conversion of the classical Benedictus Home of 1844 into the Max Ernst Museum began in November 2002. The supporting organisation is a foundation comprised of the town of Brühl, the Kreissparkasse (regional bank) and the Landschaftsverband (regional authority) as partners. The principal items of the museum collection are works collected by the town of Brühl since 1969 as well as sizeable bundles of pieces from the estate of Max Ernst and the holdings of other private collectors, which the Cologne Kreissparkasse acquired in 1999.
