Impressions
The Gertrud Weinhold Collection takes visitors of all faiths on a colourful excursion through religious calendar customs from all over the world. In the collection of East and West Prussia Foundation, around 400 exhibits trace the development of the European cultural landscape of northern Central Europe through objects with high recognition value.
History of the branch museum
Duke Maximilian I of Bavaria had the building constructed in 1617 on the foundation walls of a previous building. During the Second World War, large parts of the architectural ensemble were destroyed. Reconstruction commenced in 1970 and was only completed in 1989. As early as 1986, a plan was developed to incorporate a branch museum of the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum into the almost entirely reconstructed palace.
