the kolumba art museum in cologne’s city center, holds a secret garden, stone ruins, a uniquely dense archaeological site that are the most impressive symbol of the city’s almost complete destruction during the second world war.the warm grey brick of the massive building unite with the tuffs, basalt and bricks of the ruins. inside the building a peaceful courtyard takes the place of a lost medieval cemetery. The largest room of the building encompasses the two thousand year structure of the city as an uncensored memory landscape.
