Museum Bayerisches Vogtland

Regional history museum covering the Bavarian Vogtland in a former monastery

The Bavarian Vogtland Museum is housed in a former Franciscan monastery just off the Klosterplatz, in the same complex as the Klosterkirche. The collection is small and old-fashioned but charming: textiles from Hof's once-significant weaving industry, examples of regional folk costume, glassware from the Fichtelgebirge factories, and a room dedicated to the city's relationship with the inner-German border before 1989.

Captioning is mostly in German, with English handouts available at the desk. Allow ninety minutes. Admission is modest, and Sundays are free.
