The 10 Best Museums in Frankfurt, Hesse

June 8, 2021 Nobuko Falco

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.

Liebieghaus

Housed in a castle-like structure, this art museum holds an impressive collection of classical, Renaissance and Baroque sculptures. Die Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung bleibt vom 16. Marz bis einschließlich 10. April geschlossen. Die Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung folgt damit der behordlichen Vorsorgemaßnahme der Stadt Frankfurt im Zuge der Verbreitung des Coronavirus (Covid-19).

This is a singularly attractive museum in rather fantastical building set in a garden close to the banks of the Main. The place is an oasis and the museum collection is of a very high quality. There is a beautiful classical statue of Athena and a number of high quality Roman heads plus a couple of fine Egyptian burial portraits. The medieval collection contains sculpture in both stone and wood, including polychrome altarpieces. Highlights include heads of the four doctors of the Church, each intensely life-like, several beautiful Virgina and Child images, a St Anne with Mary and Jesus, two romanseque Virgins and a romanesque crucifix.

Geldmuseum

The Money Museum is an interactive place for exploring the world of money. How is cash produced? What is book money? How does monetary policy work and what exactly does a central bank do? What role does money play in a globalised world? Striking exhibits, attractive staging and more than 80 media stations with games and interactive information provide answers to these and many more money-related questions. The topics are approached from both a current and a historical perspective. The exhibition is both in German and English.

Culture pure in Frankfurt. Dozens of museums open their doors, shows, workshops, art, music speciality handwork is on view all along the river on both banks. A yearly extravaganza ending in a massive firework show. Don't miss the dragon boat racing and, of course, plenty to eat and drink, this is, after all, in Germany.For a non-mainstream music entertainment I always go to the RadioX stage (below the Holbein foot bridge), always something new and interesting to hear.

Great place to visit if you're interested in cars. It's completely free, we wandered in and spent a good couple of hours looking at all the cars and garages. There are 3 floors and outside workshops, some are for sale, some are part of supercar type showroom, some in garages being worked on, some just being stored there, new and old. We went as a family with two teenagers, both love cars and enjoyed looking around. It was very quiet, well kept and the condition of some of the classic cars was amazing. Really pleased we took the time to go. Easy to get to by tram from the city centre, stop just around the corner and runs every 7 minutes. Highly recommend if cars are your thing and you want to do some different.
