The gargoyles are pretty fantastic, as are some of the other relics. But for a non-Catholic I found it to be a bit boring and stuffy overall.
An interesting modern museum. Considering the things showed, the entry ticket it's a little bit expensive.
This place holds some of the original statues and gargoyles from the Munster that are weathered and can't be repaired. Also a great explanation about how craftsmen went about their work in building the Munster. Some art work and gold/silver pieces from monasteries and churches around the region too.
If you like history and churches then this is the museum for you. Lots of gargoyles and historic religious exhibitions. Be sure to check out the huge pipe organ, although it is not operational sadly.
Many of the statues and gargoyles were removed from the cathedral as the sandstone wears away. In this museum you can see them up close. The museum is well designed so you can see them from below, at the same level, and above. Also, the medieval stained glass is amazing. If you're in a hurry, you can see most of the museum in an hour, though you can easily spend more time here!
My wife and I very much enjoyed the exhibits at the Augustinermuseum. Their collection of religious art from the Black Forest region was the best I have ever seen. The audio tour is very informative, and allows you to move through the exhibits at your own pace.
Museum contains items from the Cathedral and its treasury. Nothing particularly stunning about the collection itself, but the presentation is very well done, allowing visitors to get close to stained glass, gargoyles, and religious statuary.
Stunning art works and carvings from the Munster and a few others are displayed very well in this excellent museum.Check which day it is closed before you go .... unlike us!
This is one of those nice little museums that is just the right size for spending an hour or so. Close up views of some of the sculptures from the Muenster and a few interesting art works.
If you can find this exhibit, it's a fantastic exploration of the building techniques, the architects and tools used to build Das Freiburger Muenster. It was so well arranged and the labeling did not overwhelm us with too many details.
