Traveler reviews
Jakob W. Plummer
★★★★★a year agoI absolutely adored this museum. At the time of my visit there were two worthwhile exhibits and they deserved a good amount of attention each: 1 about the history of the collection and Germany as a collective item, and the second regarding work with unknown backgrounds or those in need of additional resources to secure information on province. A great place to go both for art and for German history. A+!

★★★★★2 months agoReally great experience especially for the price. International student can also get a discount which brings the ticket price down to €7 (note I'm not from the EU, so this is a LOT cheaper then tickets to a gallery in my home country). The work that was on display while I was there was super interesting, most signs have German and English (but super basic English, and sometimes the story of the piece is not translated). What I found super cool is that some of their piece had QR codes that can be scanned to see their digital archive/ project.
