Do you live in the United States and have a strong connection to international contemporary and modern art? Are you inspired by the Museum Ludwig and its dynamic exhibitions and artists? Would you like an exchange with interesting and interested people who share your passion for art? Then we would be honored to have you apply to become a member of the International Society Museum Ludwig.

The Museum Ludwig is a public museum created to foster civic engagement for modern and contemporary art. By becoming a part of the International Society, you will directly support the goals of the Museum Ludwig and be intimately connected to the dynamic European art world, helping to shape its future. The Museum Ludwig is especially unique with its German location and international approach, historical and forward-thinking.

As a member of the International Society, you will develop a close relationship with the Museum Ludwig and the exciting people involved in its activities. You will receive invitations to exclusive events such as private studio visits and tours with our Director, Yilmaz Dziewior, and our Deputy Director, Rita Kersting, as well as others. We schedule events in New York, so there is no need to travel, though if you do, we also have private events here in Cologne.

All donations are tax-deductible in the United States thanks to our cooperation with the King Baudouin Foundation United States (KBFUS). For gifts by check, wire transfer or to contribute other types of property, please contact our Coordinator.
