The Abbey Museum in Aschaffenburg is a fascinating cultural treasure trove. It is located in the historic old town and is part of a unique architectural ensemble that also includes the Abbey Church of St. Peter and Alexander and a Romanesque cloister.
The museum is housed in the former chapter house of the St. Peter and Alexander Abbey, which adds to its historical charm.
The museum displays a wide range of collections, including exhibits from prehistoric, Roman and medieval times, with valuable finds from the region.
Highlights include one of the oldest panel paintings in Germany and a rare chessboard from around 1300. Breathtaking religious artworks such as altarpieces, sculptures and liturgical objects round off the portfolio.
