The history of the Reformation

There is no other Museum like ours in the world. It's the only secular museum devoted to the history of both the Reformation and Protestantism. Paintings, objects, books, engravings and audiovisual features are available for your perusal in 12 vibrant rooms. Exhibition highlights include two paintings of Luther by Lucas Cranach, a letter written by Calvin and one by Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

You're in for a remarkable cultural experience that's designed for a broad public. It's also a truly immersive experience, as we provide free audio guides in 14 languages and bring 15 important works to life through augmented reality.
