8 Museums in Kempten That You Shouldn't Miss

The walls are burning! 23 steps lead down to the Erasmuskapelle showroom and into the history of the town of Kempten. An impressive multimedia show makes the walls of the former cemetery church from the 13th century speak for themselves. They tell of almost eight centuries of eventful history: from the charnel house to the chapel of St. Erasmus, from the chapel to the tavern, from the wine cellar to the trench and from the ruins to the showroom. The underground chapel was discovered by chance in 2003 in the run-up to the redesign of St. Mang's Square. Today the archaeological showroom Erasmuskapelle is one of the most visited attractions in Kempten. Important: A visit to the Erasmuskapelle is only possible as part of a guided tour - every day except Wednesday at every hour from 11 am to 5 pm! Ticket service (MangBox): Phone 0831/9602202.

The Alpine Museum in Kempten takes you on a journey into the fascinating world of the Alps. On the basis of a diverse collection, it tells of the millennia-old natural and cultural history of the Alps - including the relationship between man and the mountains, the habitat of many plants and animals and the history of alpine skiing. Come along on a geological, biological and cultural-historical expedition to the largest inner-European mountain range! In addition to the Alpine exhibition, the Alpine Museum also houses the permanent exhibition "Shining Middle Ages". The exhibition room on the ground floor shows changing special exhibitions.

The new Kempten-Museum in the centre of the city whets the appetite for Kempten and tells 2,000 years of city history: audiovisual show on a huge 3D city model - activity trail for children - walk-through city map with sights in Kempten - themed rooms from the Romans to the present day with many original objects - museum café with regional snacks. Welcome to the living room of the city of Kempten!

The Kunsthalle Kempten sees itself as a changeable exhibition space for contemporary art and a presentation platform for freelance artists from Kempten and the region. Attention children! Every spring there is a great interactive exhibition for playing, trying out, being creative and having fun. The professional association of visual artists regularly organises collective exhibitions here.
