Nuremberg - National Germanic Museum Germanisches Nationalmuseum
|
|
On the south side of the old town of Nuremberg, at Kornmarkt 1, is the National Germanic Museum (Germanisches Nationalmuseum), partly housed in a former monastery, with a rich collection covering all aspects of German art and culture and a large library. The same building houses the Industrial Museum (Gewerbemuseum), installed here in 1989.
The National Germanic Museum was devastated by bombing attacks during the Second World War but the collections were kept in storage and were returned when the museum reopened in 1947.
A new extension was begun in 1987 and opened to the public in June 1993. The museum has approximately 1.2 million items relating to the artistic and cultural history of the region.
