Not everything is behind glass, like many museums. You can see up close the many artifacts on display. The building is 4 floors and it gets warmer the higher you go. The history museum resides on the rear of the property and is flanked by old artillery. Inside the museum is the history of the German military and U.S. relations. Maps, uniforms, and photographs are just a few things you will see inside. Very interesting!

Inspired by the Parthenon in Athens, although a little bit smaller, its architecture and attention to details are absolutely impressive. And boy, the staircase going down to the river with breathtaking views from the monument are outstanding, overlooking the Danube and the beautiful countryside around it. Just stay calm and meditate for a moment. Inside, there is plenty to explore and learn about German history, if you like, and the important historical figures honored here. King Ludwig I of Bavaria did great building Walhalla and given it to us, who enjoy it now. Definitely worth the trip and an easy five-star experience!

Then poof, the lightbulb not only comes on, but it explodes! I'll check out the Walhalla Museum that everyone has been raving about. Actually, there's a little hyperbole thrown in there. No one is raving about it. In fact, I think it's one of those awesome sites that are rarely mentioned. Which is just odd, because it's truly breathtaking! The views are amazing! The magnificence of the grand structure! All Roman Empire like reminiscent of a coliseum. It's seriously cool! Yes, there's an entrance fee to go inside, but if you just wanna soak up the view? Totally gratis! If you're in the area, you so wanna check this place out.

We started on the 3rd floor with the exhibit why Nuremberg. This is a top attraction in Nuremberg & one of Germany's most historically significant sites. The Documentation Center Nazi Party Rally Grounds is where some of the most infamous footage of fervent supporters of megalomania has been captured. From 1933 to 1938, Nuremberg hosted the Nazi Party Rallies, propaganda events whose architectural remains still stand. The museum's exhibitions are deeply affecting, with perspective on how ideology and terror reshaped Germany's modern history. The permanent exhibition "Fascination and Terror" uses film, photographs, and artifacts to explore propaganda and power. Gunther Domenig was the architect that designed this new center. The key element is 400 ft long glass steak that cuts through the northern end of the building. He designed the suspended Cinema in the foyer which today is used as open space as well as seminar rooms on the roof. The shadow gaps running along the floor edges in the entire building create a distance between the original Congress hall and the new architectural elements . This modern new exhibition center just opened in 2026. With headsets, we moved through exhibits starting with the significance of Nuremberg, construction of the rally grounds, staging rallies, media propaganda, the experiences, camps on the grounds, the grounds during war and what is now for Nuremberg. They showed concerts from the grandstands in Nuremberg such as Zepplin, Eric Clapton, Billy Joel... Rock in the park. The grounds have beenare even used for motorsports, soccer and the Nuremberg Fair. I was able to put my headset in front of models to hear unsettling first person descriptions.

It is educational with great historical significance as it is literally built on grounds where the N@z! party was founded. Great thought was put in to the creation of this museum and after your visit you can walk around the beautiful lake outside or take one of the walking paths which allow you to reflect on the information you obtained from the Documentation Center. They offer storage lockers for coats and bags as well as vending machines with cold beverages you can take on your walk around the lake.

This museum only retains one of its old gates. The rest is newly built over several decades. They even integrated a church in the museum. This makes for tough navigation (just as one of the attendants for directions to specific exhibits), but also contains the different eras to different buildings and atmospheres. Gotta love Germany: the museum offers a family ticket that afforded us acces for about 10 euros. Cool works allround make this museum a pleasant place to check when in Nürnberg.

A slightly surprising find in Nuremberg is this museum of national importance: an expansive…read morecollection of German art, culture and history from the Neolithic to the present. If you want to understand the complex cultural history of Germany prior to its political unification in the 19th Century, this is the place to come. Set aside at least half a day to do it justice. The museum itself has its origins in the growing sense of pan-German identity in the mid 19th Century, around the time the forces of unification were in the ascendent. Some of these elements (such as frescoes and stained glass) were rather Wagnerian in their somewhat romantic appropriation of German history, though much was destroyed in the 1945 bombing. (The curation is very honest in explaining how it differs from modern understanding of German culture.) The building itself is very modern, but incorporates much of a previous convent - an excellent setting for some of the religious works. It's hard to cover the scope of the collection here, but it starts with grave goods, arms and jewellery from the Neolithic to the period up to the Roman invasions in the first century BC. There is then a huge (and I mean huge) collection of devotional Christian art from the Frankish period right up to the 18th Century: this includes sculpture and metalwork, but above all, a vast collection of religious paintings, the highlight of which is a collection of works by Albrecht Dürer. This is all supplemented by galleries on domestic objects, costume, scientific instruments and the secular decorative arts; and world-class collections of musical instruments, early mediaeval tapestry and mediaeval armour. It includes the first ever globe of the world (contemporary with Christopher Columbus - so it misses out the Americas!); and a self-portrait by Rembrandt. The displays are for the most part in English and German, but audio guides are also available. There's a lot of emphasis on level access but it's worth checking access to some of the galleries. The museum has a complex and rather sprawling layout, and we walked just shy of two miles around the exhibits in four hours. Afterwards, there's an excellent cafe to rest your feet (you'll need it) and a very educational gift shop.
