Visited here on Wednesday and surprisingly discovered that it’s free for Wednesday night. But the musical instruments part will be closed at night, I didn’t check the time so I missed it >< Before we talk about the museum ——— you need to know that this museum has a FANTASTIC shop. If you’re a tourist like me, you can find everything you need here —— they have a lot of interesting toys, stationeries, cards and souvenir. Another fantastic thing is they also sell vintage postcards! I want to send my big thank you to the museum shop lady! She’s super friendly and professional, I didn’t get a chance to ask her her name, or I would like to write a thank you letter to the museum for their amazing staff:) I spent a decade there to go through all these interesting cards. She replied all my questions and even shared some fun fact about German culture with me! I kind of feel I’m also in an exhibition of the museum haha. Highly recommend to visit the shop! For the museum itself —— It’s 10 mins walk from the main train station, super convenient! There’re a lot of food near by. All staffs are super friendly. Toilets are clean, the cafe is adorable. The museum has a lot of interesting thing! My favorite part will be the memorial shield… the design of Nuremberg’s memorial shield is so different from other parts of Europe. The museum building is also super cool, I took tons of photos on my Instagram.

Germanisches Nationalmuseum is opened every day except Monday. It is part of the Nurnberg card that allow you to get for free or you have to pay an admission fee to visit it. To get there the best way is to walk (approx 10min) from the main train station. This museum is perfect for raining days or for Sunday. The Germanisches Nationalmuseum is the largest museum of cultural history in Germany. The museum was partially destroyed during World War II, but new architectural buildings were rebuilt to welcomed all the objects. The museum is huge, you will get lost. Also special exhibitions are presented during the year. I suggest to visit this museum on raining days or the Sunday when everything is closed as you will need time to see all the areas.

I had very low expectations when I entered the museum, thinking it might be just boring and dull. But I was happy to admit I was wrong and was positively surprised. The museum exhibits so many great items and you don’t even need to try construct a narrative in order to enjoy them. Instead you will be deeply moved by the beauty of the ancient sculptures, classic and modern paintings, and all the historical artefacts, as if they were objects with lives and they’re still alive, telling you stories of their lives. The museum cafe was very nice. Clean and tidy and the staff very nice and professional. I had a cup of tea and it was very nice. As an added bonus, they even have edurom WiFi in the museum. Things couldn’t be better.

I absolutely loved this place. It is an art and history universe with lot of exhibits from whole Europe as well as Nürenberg. Easily it takes 4-5 hours of your visit time. You first walk into Museum, buy your ticket and if you have any luggage, use a refunded Euro coin to use locker. Museum also has two exhibition halls. So don't forget to checkout them before leaving. There is a cafeteria available too. Don't forget to take your earphones, as there is an audio guide system. You can reach museum by catching U2 Bahn from Nürenberg central station and getting down at Opernhaus station. The museum is located between mediaeval walls so it is a nice feeling to walk there.

A really big and impressive museum with great general exhibitions. There is so much to see and discover here that you'll need at least 3-4 hours to see everything. The sections are a bit confusing - one might need a guide here in order not to get lost even if you have the flyer with the plan of the museum. Any way, the exhibitions are impressive and totally worth the visit. I absolutely loved the armory, wooden furniture and the fashion sections. The interiors are stunning! I loved the cloisters and the gothic architecture pieces. The ticket for the permanent exhibitions is 10 euros, but if you have the Nuremberg Card the entrance will be free.
