Famous Germans were at home in Düsseldorf, as institutions like the Goethe-Museum (in Jägerhof Palace), the Heinrich-Heine-Institut, the Robert-Schumann-Hochschule remind us. Eighteen museums, the late-Baroque Benrath Palace, more than 20 theatres, the opera, many concert halls, about a hundred galleries and regular art exhibitions of international standing make Düsseldorf a major centre of art and culture. The museums in the Altstadt form what has been christened an "art axis" which runs parallel to the Rhine, making it easy for the city visitor to find the ones he is interested in. The Opera House, the Tonhalle (concert hall) and many theatres are also to be found within the city centre, tempting even the most impulsive of people to enjoy some culture.
