Top 8 History Museums in Frankfurt, Hesse

November 13, 2021 Marissa Gamble

There’s plenty to see and do in this 2,000-year-old German city. The gothic Saint Bartholomeus Cathedral is a perseverant structure, having been destroyed and rebuilt twice since its 14th century construction. Catch a screening at the German Film Museum, stroll the exhibit halls of one of Frankfurt’s many galleries, or climb to the top of the Main Tower for sweeping 360-degree views of the city.

Reviewed By Sachin0408 - Pune, India

Goethe Museum is a wonderful museum which takes you back in time for sure. Situated in downtown Frankfurt it’s a great place to go for a feel of old Germany. Its definitely worth a visit. You cannot help but admire the house which is gorgeous in itself and certainly gives you the feel of how life was in the yesteryear. You also get to see the original kitchen & bathroom along with the old heating system. All in all an amazing time spent out here.

Dom-Museum

Permanent museum devoted to Frankfurt's cathedral, the Dom, depicting its history from construction during the Middle Ages to the present as a religious center and the venue where Germany's kings and emperors were crowned and elected.

Reviewed By julianasD5788NU

I went in for a bit of a break from the cold and was pleasantly surprised. The collection is amazingly decadent though the museum itself is fairly small and split over two areas. Admission is also pretty cheap so it's worth a stop. Forewarning: not all signs and plaques are posted in English as well as German.

Historisches Museum Frankfurt

Reviewed By Jellona - Vantaa, Finland

It's a great museum and offers plenty to see. There are "free" lockers where you can put your backpack and clothes. The model of the old town as it was before the war is awesome. Note: If you want to see just the model or some particular thing in the museum, you should go there not before one hour before the closing time and you get a half price ticket! One hour is barely enough to see the whole museum, though...
