The Germanic National Museum (Germanisches Nationalmuseum) is an attraction in Nürnberg, in the German state of Bavaria. It is a museum devoted to art and culture from the German-speaking areas, and it is a place to spend an unhurried afternoon.
What you will find
The museum presents its collections through both permanent and temporary exhibitions. The permanent displays give a broad view of art and everyday culture across the German-speaking lands, while the changing shows allow visitors to see more focused themes. Because the programme mixes the two, a return visit can feel different from the first.
Planning your visit

The city around it
Nürnberg is a city in Bavaria with a long history and a historic centre, so a visit to the museum pairs well with time spent exploring its streets. Check the museum's current opening times, admission details and temporary exhibitions before you travel, as these can change.
