You're standing at the Chocolate Museum in Cologne, out on the peninsula in the Rheinauhafen, right in the middle of the city. Start by looking at the shape of the building. The new part was deliberately designed with ship motifs, in a post-modern style. Architect Fritz Eller drew it up, and it was the very first building in this new harbour district.
