The museum is located close to the Bamberg Cathedral and is home to the Treasury of the Cathedral. The collections are extensive and we especially admired the beautiful old textiles that still seem to be in a very good condition. Other objects of art include paintings, the holy cross of the cathedral, monstrans, and wood carvings.

Situated next to the cathedral these old half timber framed buildings with a cobbled courtyard is very impressive. They look beautiful with large pitch roofs and flowers along the first floor balconies. The courtyard was used for filming part of 'The Three Musketeers'. Access is free and can be combined with a visit to the cathedral and nearby New Residenz with it stunning rose garden. Only need half an hour to wander round unless the museum is visited at the same time.

Each time I am in Bamberg I go to the Dom. In front of the cathedral was a stand with information about the Dom Platz. that is when I discovered the Bamberg history museum was a few meters away. I paid the nominal fee and started a self guided tour. This is a comprehensive history of one of the finest cities in Bavaria. It starts at ground level and you gradually work your way up a few floors. The display covers every aspect of the origin and growth of the city. It is primarily in German but there are cards in English summarizing. This is a museum using several mediums to tell the story. Go......enjoy.
