After the Second World War, Villa Hügel lost its function as a residential building, but retained its role as an important place of representation for the Fried. Krupp company. Today it belongs to the non-profit Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation. Villa Hügel, a symbol of German industrialization, is open to the public. In the "Big House", visitors can view representative rooms furnished with rare historical tapestries, portraits of the Krupp family and the German emperors as well as furniture from various eras. The "Small House" is home to the "Krupp Historical Exhibition", which was redesigned in 2007 and presents the history of the Krupp family, the villa and the company for around 200 years on two floors. It also houses the Krupp Historical Archive, founded in 1905, which preserves the sources on Krupp history since the 18th century. Since 1953, sophisticated art and cultural history exhibitions have been held in the "Great House", organized by the Ruhr Cultural Foundation, which was founded by Berthold Beitz in 1984.
