History of a river.For 200 years, the city of Cologne has been an ideal spot for tourism and the commerce that plied along the Rhine river. The romantic year of the Rhine is the occasion for celebrating travel on the river, as seen by the inhabitants of Cologne. There are ship models and and objects related to the river navigation theme. And of course, there are paintings and drawings, providing a highly romanticized vision of the riverbanks and boat launches as well as their crews. Cologne still retains a strong imprint from this period, both economic and touristic, and the city is proud to present this history-laden exhibition.
