In the location's words:

The NRW-Forum Düsseldorf is an international exhibition house for photography, pop and digital culture - a lively ideas factory for the whole family. In group and solo exhibitions, festivals, lectures, workshops, film screenings and other novel formats, we take up current, social issues and translate them into high-energy, dialogic formats. The interdisciplinary program is characterized by the highest artistic quality and cultural relevance - while still being accessible and entertaining. We initiate target-group-specific offerings for the whole family and all social classes.

We place particular emphasis on cultural education, especially in the areas of media literacy and understanding technology. We are concerned with a self-evident, but nevertheless critical handling of the most modern cultural technology, especially with regard to the Internet.
