Summer outing to the Red Dot Design Museum
We have a 1-hour English tour of this museum, starting at 14:30. Please arrive by 14:15, as we must pay 7.00 € each for entry and perhaps put bags in a locker. This museum is in Hall 7, which is to the right, once inside the Zollverein area, about 5 minutes’ walk from the tram stop.
The tour is restricted to 20 people but there are numerous other exhibitions on the site.
Travel: Train to Essen (e.g. RE6 at 12:54) then tram 107 (direction Gelsenkirchen) from beyond platforms 11/12, 10 stops to Zollverein (ca. 15 minutes). Or, car park A2 is very close to Hall 7.

The picture of Dorian Gray
A play by Oscar Wilde, performed by Dreampark
A handsome young man sells his soul to remain young while his painted image grows old, reflecting his wild and dissolute life. The play, which caused outrage when first published, became one of Wilde’s most celebrated works, full of flamboyant wit for which he is justly renowned.
