art museums

Can anyone recommend any art museums in Köln apart from the Ludwig and the Walraff-Richartz?

I will wholeheartedly recommend Museum Schnütgen; housed in the former romanesque church of St. Cecilia, this museum, dedicated to medieval art, is small enough to feel %26#39;manageable%26#39; and intimate yet has quite an outstanding collection.



When I visited it this last May, it was undergoing renovation works and I understand they are in the process of expanding into new exhibition spaces.





There are also the Museum of East Asian Art (www.museenkoeln.de/english/default.asp…), Käthe Kollwitz Museum and the new Kolumba musum (http://www.kolumba.de/?language=eng).
