About this audio guide
This guide to K20, the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen on Grabbeplatz in Düsseldorf, follows the painter Paul Klee from his years teaching at the city's art academy into the Nazi era. It crosses the Atlantic to a Pittsburgh steel man with a habit of buying Klee, and a hometown museum that turned down his offer. Best heard standing in front of the black granite façade.
