The Museum of Lacquer Art is a small, highly focused museum that stands out because its subject is so unusual. The collection follows lacquer as both craft and luxury art, with works from East Asia, Europe, and the Islamic world showing how different cultures used shine, depth, and surface decoration.
It is a good fit for design, craft, and decorative-arts travelers, and its central location makes it easy to combine with Münster's old town. The museum is not large, but the specificity is exactly what makes it memorable.
