Germany :
Essen is, in 2010 and along with the Hungarian Pecs and the Turkish Istanbul, one of the three European capitals of Culture. Europe has chosen in the heart of Germany, one of the cities symbolizing the Industrial Revolution, who has been through deep mutations during the 20th century. The Ruhr area has managed an important transformation without losing her singularity and with catalyzing, in Essen, an innovative spirit, creative and inspired. To notice, the reopening of the Folkwang Museum with collections as there were in 1933 with paintings by Kandinsky, Matisse: a very special moment of the Ruhr year in Essen.
