3. Memorial Museum (Mahn- und Gedenkstätte Düsseldorf)

A chamber in Memorial Museum.

It is a very small museum in the old town and not widely promoted. However, it´s a very impressive one. There exhibits the historical evidence when Dusseldorf is being invaded. Exhibition is in German, but staffs do speak some English. The chamber where Jewish hide in Dusseldorf is now turned into part of the museum.

4. Japanese Culture

More than 7,000 Japanese live in Düsseldorf. Look for Immermannstraße and you´ll notice how many Japanese restaurants are there. These restaurants provide high quality Japanese food with reasonable price, compare to other parts of Germany and the nearby countries.
