Interest in the arts is strong in Germany. Fortunately, this holds true amongst those holding the purse strings in local, regional and national government. Patronage is also high.
Neuss is no exception. The results of strong private sponsoring of highly diverse art venues are stunning; long-standing collections go hand in hand with inspiring regular exhibitions. Art venues and art museums can be found downtown and on the periphery of Neuss. They include Clemens Sell Museum, Feld-Haus and the Langen Foundation.
A good few statutory holidays offer most residents in Neuss quality time throughout the year. Of religious or political nature, some regional, others nationwide.
