It explores Dortmund through the art, furniture and archaeology of centuries past, providing a comprehensive window into various peoples. Admire the art deco exterior of this intriguing museum and consider its importance to the city.

Inspect the many paintings lining the walls and examine the various sculptures that give us an insight into the artistic movements and tastes of previous eras. Period furniture, crafts and graphic arts are also on display across the museum’s several open-plan floors. Visit the exhibits covering textiles and photography for modern history and discover archaeological relics to see into the distant past.

Pieces by Caspar David Friedrich, Anton von Werner and other artists are among the impressive artworks. Temporary exhibitions move through the museum regularly, keeping display materials fresh and paying tribute to such artists as Paul Cézanne and Édouard Manet. For a sense of how the city has developed, take a closer look in the permanent collection at the geodesic tools relating to surveying. 

Consider the long history of the museum, whose collection was founded in 1883 and is currently housed in the former building of the Dortmund Savings Bank.
