Germanisches Nationalmuseum

Why go

Founded in 1852, the museum gathers objects from German speaking lands across many periods. Its buildings incorporate remains of a former charterhouse, adding a historical layer to the collections. Seek out the Behaim Globe, then choose a few nearby galleries instead of treating the entire museum as one continuous route.

What to look for

• The Behaim Globe stands among the Renaissance collections.
• Parts of a former charterhouse remain within the museum complex.
• The galleries span art and cultural history across many periods.

Useful to know

• Check the current gallery plan; some rooms may be closed or have different access.
• Choose two or three collection areas before entering a museum of this scale.
• Pair the visit with the Way of Human Rights outside.
