Cologne City Museum

Discover the history of Cologne! The Kölnisches Stadtmuseum takes you on unique time travels through the exciting past of the cathedral city - from the Middle Ages to the present day!

Please note: Due to the move from Zeughausstraße to Minoritenstraße, the permanent exhibition of the Kölnisches Stadtmuseum is currently still closed.

With the move, the museum is not only changing its address, but also its entire museum concept. You can look forward to an innovative - surprising (!) - new permanent exhibition that will tell the story of the city of Cologne in a completely new way, with all its facets, contradictions and different perspectives. And also takes a look at the present and future of the city!

You can find all information on the new opening at www.koelnisches-stadtmuseum.de
