One of the interesting museums to visit in Nuremburg is the Albrecht Dürer's House on Albrecht-Dürer-Straße in the St. Sebald district. This is a good place to learn about Nuremburg's most famous artist and to walk through a well-preserved early 15th-century house and artist workshop.

Note: Opening hours are 10am to 5 or 6pm daily (Tues to Sun). There are extended hours to 8pm on Thursdays but the museum is normally closed on Mondays. Entry fee is €6 per adult and comes with audio guide. There is toilet facility and free use lockers available on the ground floor just past the ticketing counter.

The property itself is believed to have been built around 1420. It came into Dürer's possession in 1509. He lived and worked here until 1528. The property passed on to other owners in later centuries until it was used to create a Dürer museum in 1871. Having escaped WWII bombings, Albrecht Dürer's House's remains the same today as it did when he lived here five hundred years ago.

What you will find within the Albrecht Dürer's House are a handful of rooms. In the Dürer Room, you will see important copies of Dürer's masterpieces which hang in the galleries of many of the world's most important art museums. Many of these works would have been created here in this house.

You'll also be able to view living quarters with period furnishing, painting and printing workshops with equipment, props and items that would have been known to Dürer. The audio guide explains what you will see quite well. It provides historic perspective and context which is helpful.

Overall, we enjoyed the hour and fifteen minutes spent at the Albrecht Dürer's House. If you are a fan of the artist, there is a monument dedicated to the artist no more than 3-4 minutes on Bergstrasse. Further, an abstract sculpture and interpretation of Dürer's 'Young Hare' can be viewed 20-25 metres away in the small square in front of the museum.
