Museum Schnütgen

Museum Schnütgen

　 Introduction In 1906, cathedral chaplain Alexander Schnütgen donated his collection to the city of Cologne, where it was housed in the Museum Schnütgen located in the Romanesque Church of St. Cäcilien. This museum is considered one of Europe’s most important museums of medieval art.

The museum preserves ecclesiastical art from the early Middle Ages through the Baroque period, highlighting the interplay between use and artistic expression. Its world-class collection spans over 1,000 years and includes ivory carvings, goldsmith works, wood and stone sculptures, bronze and silver artifacts, church furnishings, stained glass, manuscripts, as well as liturgical vestments and fabrics from Late Antiquity to the present day. It is thanks to these remarkable medieval ecclesiastical artworks that the Cologne Museum Schnütgen has become one of the most significant collections of medieval art in the world.
