German equivalent of the British Museum or the V&A

Simply excellent cultural museum. Artifacts, displays and artworks from the Neolithic to the recent past. Larger than it looks, so allow plenty of time (I would actually say several day-long visits). Don't miss the display of medieval weapons and armout Closes Monday. Sometimes has special...More

Huge collection in interesting mix of old and modern buildings

We found this a striking museum - far too much to see in one go. The buildings are interesting in themselves - one approaches the entrance along a pedestrian street with monumental columns inscribed with the UN declaration of rights. The entrance hall and cafe...More

Top-Notch Museum with Exhibits Covering Many Different Aspects and Eras of German History

I highly recommend this museum. In particular, I love the medieval exhibits, the 20th century exhibits (up on the top floor), the small but nonetheless interesting exhibit on measurement & scientific tools, and the extensive exhibit covering musical instruments. For those of you who are...More

The cafe in the ground floor excellent. The various displays were superb and we only after several hours made it through the first floor. The art work, the descriptions of the displays and the maps were excellent and made the visit easy. We finally ran...More

Too much for one visit!

This museum is so well done, with so much to see, that multiple visits are required. Well arranged, and everything well signed (and described also in English). Wonderful exhibits of old musical instruments too. Worth a visit, or two!

hidden gem of Nuremberg

This is a museum that is worth a visit, well even more than one, as its collection of German art is so extensive. Plenty of paintings, art, of the Middle age to discover

I loved this place. It houses a lot of religious art from Bavaria. It was well worth the visit just to see the oldest globe - from around 1492 or so. It doesn't have America in it because Columbus had not yet returned to report...More

Surround yourself in Germanic Culture not just a history review of dates

This is from the Museum's English website: Does the Museum have a parking lot? There are city parking garages in the immediate vicinity of the Museum, e.g. below the Kornmarkt. The Museum does not have its own parking... More
