Experts' Choice Award Germanisches Nationalmuseum
What the experts agree on
Germany's most important cultural history museum, often likened to the Smithsonian or British Museum. Housed in a former Carthusian monastery, its vast, well-designed collection spans 600,000 years—plan for hours, not minutes.
“This museum owns millions of objects, of which 20,000 are on permanent display, making it the most important art and antiquities museum in Germany.”
