Schäfer sets a precedent: Schweinfurt's hidden art treasure

From Spitzweg to Menzel - here you will find everything that makes an art lover's heart beat faster. Volker Staab's building is worth a visit in itself. A must for all art lovers!
Kunsthalle
From indoor swimming pool to museum temple. The Schweinfurt Art Gallery is more than just a museum - it is an experience. A kaleidoscope of modern and contemporary art awaits you within the historic walls of the former Ernst Sachs Baths. The architecture of the building is itself a work of art and forms an impressive backdrop for the exhibits. The former swimming pool with its high ceiling creates a unique atmosphere that makes the works of art even more intense.
Stadtgeschichtliches Museum im Alten Gymnasium
The Old Gymnasium: More than just a museum
If you're strolling through Schweinfurt, you should definitely make a detour to the Old Gymnasium. This magnificent Renaissance building houses not only a grammar school, but also a city history museum.
The exhibition promises a journey through the centuries. But be careful: anyone expecting an exciting, modern presentation will be disappointed. The exhibits are interesting, but the staging often seems dusty and uninviting.
The building itself is undoubtedly worth seeing. The historic walls and the magnificent auditorium create an atmospheric atmosphere. But the exhibition struggles to make use of this. You get the feeling that Schweinfurt's history is buried here rather than presented alive.
A visit is still worthwhile for anyone interested in local history. But be warned: it's a museum visit of the old school.
Gunnar-Wester-Haus
A ray of hope in Schweinfurt

The icon collection is another highlight. These sacred works of art transport the viewer to another world and testify to a deep spirituality.
With the Gunnar Wester House, Schweinfurt has a museum that is second to none. A visit is a must for anyone interested in art, history and culture.
