　　The Suermondt Ludwig Museum is especially proud of its medieval sculpture but also has fine works by Cranach, Dürer, Macke, Dix and other masters. An oddly fascinating highlight is the room of curiosities with such items as a stuffed shark and a falcon mummy on display.

　　It's all beautifully presented in a 19th-century town mansion.
