The Winckelmann Museum stands on the site associated with Johann Joachim Winckelmann, the 18th-century art historian whose writing on ancient Greece helped change European taste. It is a niche museum, but a good one for anyone interested in archaeology, classical art, or the odd fact that this quiet Altmark town helped shape Neoclassicism.
