THE ART OF LIVING
The art of good living seems to be something that you are born with. Those who master it are often envied for their uncomplicated reactions to life and their laid-back outlook. The citizens of Düsseldorf very much take life as it comes and draw from it what is most enjoyable. The art of good living is at home here – and art is very much anchored in the life of the city of Düsseldorf. This is reflected flamboyantly in the fashion on Königsallee, for example: Rhenish cheerfulness doesn’t just happen during Carneval but is demonstrated every day in the lively downtown district. And art in the broadest contemporary sense fills and defines the city. All this is an affirmation of life in general and of art as an essential element within it.
