Museum Küppersmühle (MKM) is a Centre for Modern and Contemporary Art based in Duisburg's Inner Harbour.
Built in 1860 by leading local industrialist Wilhelm Vedder,[1] the original building was erected in 1860 with extensive redevelopment between 1908 and 1916.
In 1969 the merger of Werner & Nicola Germania Mühlenwerke with the Küppers Mühlenwerken in Homberg gave rise to the name "Küppersmühle".
From 1999, the original building was redesigned by the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, using a masterplan devised by Norman Foster.
With 6-meter high ceilings, grey Turkish basalt natural daylight is provided by the ceiling-high window slits.
