Description

The Meissen City Museum is all about the history and stories of the oldest city in Saxony and its immediate region. The development of Meissen can be traced using historical models, while large exhibits illustrate viticulture, fishing and shipping on the Elbe. Typical Meissen porcelain and ceramic products can also be discovered.
Together with paintings, sculptures and objects from the history of crafts and industry, numerous facets of the city´s history from the Middle Ages to industrialisation are on display. The former Franciscan monastery church - a late Gothic hall church - with parts of the cloister is itself an exhibit and tells of the formative years before and after the Reformation in Meissen.
The Meissen City Museum was founded in 1901 as the City History Museum of the Association for the History of the City of Meissen. As early as 1892, the association organised the installation of historical burial monuments in the cloister of the former Franciscan monastery church. Since the remodelling and expansion of the exhibition in 1933/34, the city museum has also had a prehistoric and early historical section thanks to the acquisition of parts of the Max Andrä-Seebschütz collection. Through the donation of the Meissen collector Otto Horn, the City Museum came into possession of a collection of sacred sculptures from the Middle Ages and the early modern period.
