Museumsufer for art lovers
Prior to visiting Frankfurt, I made plans with Daiana Olteanu, a Romanian friend whom I met last year at Frankfurt BookFair, who is living in Frankfurt, to go for art discovery around Frankfurt.
I have two days free before the book fair and a day after the bookfair. So we planned well and try to cover as many art categories as we can.
From the hotel, we walked to Hauptwache, past Romer and then across the Main River to get to the other side of the river to an area called The Frankfurt museum embankment (Museumsufer). Alternatively we could take the tram or train but we preferred to walk to enjoy the nice chilly weather.
The embankment is one of the most important locations for museums in Germany and Europe. Through this unique cultural experience on both sides of the Main, the city enjoys an excellent reputation among art lovers.
There’s a total of 12 museums on the Schaumankai side, whereas about 22 museums on the other side of the Main River (some near the river, others located sporadically around Frankfurt city).
Frankfurt has more than 60 museums but there’s only 34 museums participating under Museumsufer:
- Altana Kulturstiftung im Sinclair-Haus, Bad Homburg
- Archäologisches Museum Frankfurt
- Bibelhaus Erlebnis Museum
- Caricatura Museum Frankfurt

– Stoltze-Museum has been relocated for 18 month to another building

Museum Embankment-Ticket
You can use the Museumsufer ticket to visit 34 museums on two consecutive days. If on the day after purchase museums are officially closed the ticket’s validity is extended by one day.
The Museumsufer ticket is available in three versions:

The Ticket is not transferable; you need to show your passport and write your name on the ticket, and is only valid in combination with genuine identification.
Single ticket €18 with my name on it.
I will tell about the museums I went to in my next posts (with lots of photos).

Kat Frankfurt je sampai 60 muzium? Dahsyat! (o.O) So, kak Em berjaya ke visit 34 museums in 2 days? Mula2 rasa mcm mahal 18 euro tapi kalau dpt pegi 34 muzium yg berbeza, mmg berbaloi sgt la kan 😀
imaisha
Anyway, cantiknya tiket 🙂 rasa tak pernah lagi tgk tiket muzium yg cantik kat sini..

Betul tu. €18 mcm murah untuk 34 musium. Tapi nak kena habiskan dlm 2hari lawatan ke?
Glory jane
Seronok pergi musium. Dah lama tak jalan-jalan tempat macam ni. Sejak ada anak ni, asyik ke zoo je la. Haha
Glory jane
Iye la. Cantik tiketnya.

biasa kalau saya jumpa org yg kumpul tiket dkt postcrossing ke mana2, saya akan bagi tiket bas ke, ktm ke utk collection mereka. tapi kalau tiket cantik mcm ni, sendiri simpan la buat kenangan 🙂
