Bamberg Historical Museum

The Bamberg Historical Museum tells about the history of the city from ancient times to modern times.

The collection of works of art for the museum began to collect in 1838. This date is considered the date of birth of the museum. Later, the collection began to grow rapidly.

The museum is located in the Alte Hofhaltung building on Bamberg Cathedral Square opposite the Imperial Cathedral. Previously, this building housed the imperial residence, which was later transferred to the possession of the bishop. The museum in the former residence has been open since 1938 and exists to this day, offering tourists and residents to learn more about Bamberg.

The museum presents historical objects of ancient times and modernity. Here are stored stone sculptures, crafts, ancient clocks of different centuries, coins, astronomical and mathematical tools.
