Museumsufer
About This Museum
Nestled along the south bank of the Main River, the Museumsufer isn't a single institution but a stunning cultural quarter that turns a simple riverfront stroll into an artistic pilgrimage. You'll find everything from ancient sculptures to cutting-edge film, all housed in a row of elegant villas and striking modern buildings that create a captivating architectural dialogue. It’s less a museum visit and more a day-long immersion, where you can hop from German folk art at the Museum für Angewandte Kunst to global ethnographic treasures at the Weltkulturen Museum. The true genius of the place is how these diverse collections converse with each other, framed by the serene flow of the river.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the German Film Museum's deep dive into cinematic magic or the Städel Museum's incredible Old Master paintings. The Liebieghaus is a particular gem, its skylit rooms filled with ancient Greek statues and medieval armor that feel startlingly immediate.
Visitor Information
Grab a Museumsufer ticket for access to multiple museums in a day—it's the best way to experience the variety without commitment. The embankment itself is free to wander, making it perfect for a coffee break between galleries or an evening walk when the buildings are beautifully illuminated.
Architecture & Building
A compelling mix of meticulously restored 19th-century patrician villas and bold contemporary additions, like the iconic garden hall of the Städel, which sprouts luminous domes from its lawn.
