Museums in Freiburg

Augustiner-Museum
The largest of Freiburg's museums was established in 1920-1923 in the former Augustinian monastery. The rooms form the ideal frame for the mediaeval art treasures. The emphasis of the important collection is on the art of the Upper Rhine. The greatest valuables here include not just the good old silver implements from Freiburg churches and monasteries, but also masterpieces of sculpture and paintings by Hans Baldung Grien, Matthias Grünewald or Lukas Cranach. The museum furthermore provides the opportunity to view original sculptures and coloured stained glass from Freiburg Cathedral at close quarters. The collection of stained glass from the Middle Ages to the present is one the significant in Germany.
