  • Kevalin Saksiamkul AThR, STFC

    ★★★★★3 years ago

    The museum has 6 exhibition rooms that wouldn't take you longer than an hour to explore. Entrance is on the side of the cathedral. The collections are beautiful and invaluable. Worths th entrance fee.

    ★★★★★a year ago

    Entrance was from within the chapel and does not match the Google pin. Struggled a bit but the visit was completely worthwhile. I did not get to see it in my previous visit to cologne. So glad I was able to this time round
