Description
The Nibelungen Museum will have to close temporarily from March 31, 2024 for structural and technical reasons. In particular, the acute deficiencies in connection with fire protection, which are so complex that they occur again and again and could only be remedied with extensive work, have led to this step. We will inform you as soon as we know what will happen with the museum. We have compiled more detailed information on the current situation here. The necessary investigations and planning have not yet been completed. We ask for your understanding.
The Nibelungen Museum is not a museum in the classical sense, which collects and presents relics. With its concept based on modern media, the Nibelungen Museum fits into the long tradition of Nibelung reception. Indeed, it is itself a “Nibelung work” that provides information about the centuries-old myth, interprets it and inspires and provokes with its futuristic exhibition architecture.
The Nibelungen Museum is integrated into two picturesque towers of the Staufer-era city wall, through which visitors wander with a multimedia guide as if through a walk-in audio book. This wall, which surrounded and defended the then mighty city of Worms in the 12th century, could have been the place where the unknown poet wrote the 39 aventures (chapters) of the Song of the Nibelungs around the year 1200.
Siegfried´s entry into Worms and the battle of the queens in front of the cathedral are two of the many scenes set in and around Worms. Not to forget: the sinking of the famous Nibelung treasure by Hagen in the Rhine. Many of the people and events described in the Song of the Nibelungs are historically attested. And just as “fiction and truth” merge in the song, myth and reality also form a fascinating synthesis in the Nibelungen Museum.
