The Albrecht-Dürer-Haus is a famous museum and one of the most visited cultural institutions in Nuremberg.

It is located in a typical half-timbered house in the Old Town and traces the life of this famous German artist.

The museum is housed in the house of Albrecht Dürer, the famous Renaissance painter, graphic artist and art theorist of European stature, whose works include more than 1,100 drawings or 188 paintings. Albrecht Dürer was born in Nuremberg in 1471 and bought the house that houses the museum in 1509. He lived and created his work there for more than 20 years.

Museum - what to see

Albrecht Dürer's house is furnished according to its 16th-century appearance. You can visit the Renaissance kitchen, the living rooms or the bedroom where Albrecht Dürer lived.

But the biggest attraction of the museum is the floor with the printing workshop, where the process of making a plate painting is shown.

On the third floor, you will find the graphic cabinet with many of Dürer's works on display.
