Across the Museum: Discover Amberg's History in 13 Sections
Behind the historic walls of the Amberg City Museum, a versatile panorama of art, city history, and everyday culture unfolds. The public tour invites you to get to know the permanent exhibitions in the historic building and experience Amberg from surprising perspectives.
From Medieval Building to Museum Journey Through Time
The old building in Zeughausstraße once served as a storage place for weapons and building materials and was temporarily used as a residential building. Today, the historic house houses a total of 13 sections across four floors. The tour connects architecture, local heritage, and illustrative exhibits to create a varied discovery experience.
City Foundation, Winter King, and Amberg Craftsmanship
The route leads through thematic worlds that range from the founding of the city and the development of Amberg to craftsmanship, fashion, and famous personalities. Stoneware from Amberg tells of regional production, while historical objects make the everyday life of past generations tangible.
Original Shops and Curious Stories
Among the special stops are the original Adler Pharmacy and other retail establishments from Amberg. An extraordinary chapter is dedicated to the world record in the game “Mensch-ärgere-Dich-nicht.” Thus, the city tour connects large historical lines with personal, surprising, and sometimes humorous details.
Art and Cultural Heritage
The works of the painter and illustrator Michael Mathias Prechtl, who was born in Amberg, are also highlights. His works add an artistic perspective to local history and make clear how closely city identity, memory, and culture are interconnected.
