sam - Stadtmuseum am Markt

Description

‘Just come down’ - with this motto, the sam - Stadtmuseum am Markt invites visitors of all ages on a journey through the centuries. Since 2016, the sam has been located in the historic market cellar on the Dern'schen site and thus in the centre of the Hessian state capital of Wiesbaden.

At sam, you can see many different aspects of the collection:

The award-winning permanent exhibition shows the city's history from the Ice Age to the recent past. In addition, the sam presents changing special exhibitions on topics ranging from archaeological to contemporary cultural history.

Unique artefacts from the important Nassau Antiquities Collection (SNA) can be discovered on the ‘Treasure Island’. As the most important archaeological and historical collection in the region, it is the core collection of the Stadtmuseum Foundation. It includes archaeology, graphics, applied arts, militaria and numismatics and comprises around 350,000 objects.

All exhibitions convey background information in an exciting way by creating references to the present and looking towards a possible future. The forms of communication are as varied as the themes. The dates of special events and public tours as well as digital offers can be found on the homepage.

Collaboration with schools, universities (including the RheinMain University of Applied Sciences and the universities in Mainz and Frankfurt) and many other stakeholders in Wiesbaden and the RheinMain region is particularly important to the Stadtmuseum Foundation. The sam also sees itself as a platform for current discourse. Everyone is invited to the regular ‘City Talks’. Perhaps you will also discover your ‘favourite object’ on this occasion?
