Three years of reconstruction of the new Suermondt Ludwig Museum are reflected in the images and captions of the photo documentation by the museum's and the contractor's staff. Thus, the decision to appoint an artist to acquaint himself with the building and its times was easily taken. Andreas Magdanz trailed the creation of the museum since the completion of the unfinished building with persistence. This topic is under construction.
