Maximilian Museum

Renaissance city museum with exceptional Augsburg goldsmith and silverwork

Address Philippine-Welser-Strasse 24

Augsburg's main city history museum, housed in a patrician house built in 1546 with a reconstructed painted facade. The collection covers the city's golden age as a Renaissance trading and banking centre, with a particular strength in goldsmith and silverwork by Augsburg masters — the city was one of Europe's leading centres of the craft. Scale models of the medieval city and the original figures from the Maximilianstrasse fountains are among the highlights.
