This year Düsseldorf celebrates its tenth year of Japan Day.
A day full of Japanese culture, food and drink, sports, music, displays, a fashion competition, entertainment and much, much more.

As part of the Organ Festival currently running until November 7, the fabulous Wadokyo Drums will be in concert with organ player Robert Mäuer at the Christus Church, Kruppstr 13, 40227 Düsseldorf

Famous now all over the region, hundreds of thousands flock to the city come nightfall for the spectacular fireworks display over the Rhine, a gift from the Japanese community to the city of Düsseldorf for the many years of hospitality.
Düsseldorf is after all home to one of the largest 
Japanese communities worldwide outside of Japan.

English Theatre - The Shape of Things



The English Speakers' Circle presents Neil Labute's 'The Shape of Things' on Friday October 14 at 7pm.


How far would you go for love?
What would you be willing to change?
Which price might you pay?


A story of love, and all that it entails ....


The White Horse Theatre Company is sure to put on an excellent piece. I saw a presentation by their founder, Peter Griffith, some time ago. He founded the company in 1978 and now some 35,000 people see his plays every year. His passion and pride for what he has achieved was quite simply inspirational.

''I have been really really really trying to make it to one of the painting sessions. Everyone that I know that has been to one has truly enjoyed themselves. You should be really proud of this event :)''

"It was the best! Came home full of energy, what a great event, the After Work Art events at Museum Kunst Palast are amazing!"
A Swedish RhineBuzzer
Thanks again for the action painting event on Sunday, it was great! I enjoyed going behind the scenes in the museum kunst palast and being able to give it a go. Officially the first time I tried arts since primary school. I'm looking forward to the next one!

Thank you, RhineBuzz and Sabrina at Museum Kunst Palast, for opening me to the world of Pollock and for the opportunity to get to know more great people and great minds.

Have been three times so far and loved every single one of the sessions. Unfortunately won't be able to make this one but will be back in full strength after the summer ;-). Keep up the great work Caroline and co at the MKP!!!

"I feel like I've just spent a day at the spa!"

Hi Caroline, I am not sure if I can wait util 12th of September to be honest!!!
Was great last night, another unique experience with great artists! I am addicted now!
An African RhineBuzzer
I had such a wonderful time - I can't remember the last time I was in such a zen zone just doing art! The instructor was fabulous - she created such a nice positive open atmosphere and sort of led us in playing with stuff. AND we had really groovy background music! Everyone should come - it beats most TV shows, and it beats *yet another* evening standing around at cocktails with people, asking where they're from and how long they've been here. This gives you something more interesting to hold than a cocktail glass, and a much better return on your investment. For boys and girls.
An American RhineBuzzer
Just loved it!
A British RhineBuzzer


I was very surprised at the results at the end of the evening, even though to begin with I'll admit,
 I thought to myself, "I'm not sure about this ..." 
Highly recommendable and just a great, great group of people!
