EXHIBITIONS in Dortmund

The Dortmunder U was built in 1926/1927 as a "fermentation and storage cellar" for the Dortmunder Union brewery and is a listed building. The city of Dortmund had the "Dortmunder U" converted into a center for art and creativity for the European Capital of Culture - RUHR.2010. Today it houses the Ostwall Museum and the Hartware Medienkunstverein, among other things.

There are seven disabled parking spaces in the multi-storey car park. The path in front of the entrance is easy to walk and drive on, access to the building is at ground level and without steps. The door widths are suitable for wheelchair users. All rooms that can be used and accessed by visitors are on the ground floor or can be reached by elevator.
