The Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds is a historical museum in Nuremberg, in the German state of Bavaria. It is also known by its German name, Dokumentationszentrum Reichsparteitagsgelände, and its address is Bayernstraße 110, 90478 Nuremberg.
What the museum covers
The museum examines the Nazi era and the role of propaganda in it. Its exhibits use multimedia displays, so visitors can work through the subject in several ways rather than only reading panels. The focus is on how the regime presented itself and how that presentation was built and used.
Why the location matters
The building stands on the former grounds of the Nazi party rallies, which were held in Nuremberg. Visiting here means studying the subject on the site where many of these events took place, which gives the exhibits a direct connection to the places they describe.
