Reviews
Great museum with a history of the region. Lots of rooms with exhibits dating from prehistoric times through the 20th Century. Recommend the audio tour for the full experience.
Allow plenty of time - there’s a lot more to see than you might expect when you arrive. Don’t miss the Palatinate displays and the period costume section. Could do with more labelling in English (or I would have given it 5 stars)
Good to visit and know more about Heidelberg history. Not very big museum, 2 hour is enough to see everything.
It’s a lovely museum which is good for museum lovers, it contains crafts and furnitures, paintings, archeological excavations, and special occasions, so basically different kinds of culture and art
The entrance fee is 3 € in weekdays and 1.80 in weekend. I would definitely recommend it for people who like museums 🌱
beautiful collection, with lovely and friendly staff!
I didn't expect this museum to be this large and worthwhile, the Lonely Planet doesn't fully reveal its richness.
You should plan at least half a day here.
To improve an already excellent experience, I recommend adding English translations.
A must visit for all art afficionados. A small museum, but there are a few items that surprised me. A painting by Jan Brueghel which I didn't know was there. A superb woodcarving of Jesus and his disciples. A landscape with a hunt by Gillis van Coninxloo III that I've never seen before.
There are audio guides in English and German. Be sure to get one. They present interesting information about the history of the region in relation to the works of art on display.
This is a must see museum! Their collection of modern and ancient art, was overwhelmingly beautiful. Make sure you take about about 2-3 hours to properly enjoy the masterpieces.
