Since September 16, 2018, the Sauerland Museum has thrown open its doors once again after years of meticulous construction work. Nestled in its historic 1803 building, the museum has been completely revamped and made accessible to everyone: you can glide between levels with ease thanks to the new elevators.
Before the much-anticipated new wing opens in September 2019 with a special August Macke exhibition, visitors can immerse themselves in the captivating permanent display dedicated to the history of the Duchy of Westphalia. This exhibition is not just a collection of artifacts; it's a journey through time, presented in engaging themed rooms. With the help of an audio guide, you can wander through the exhibits at your own pace, soaking up stories from the past.
The museum itself is located in Arnsberg, a charming town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. This quaint town offers a delightful mix of old-world charm and modern amenities. While you're there, take a leisurely stroll through its cobblestone streets and enjoy the picturesque views of the surrounding hills. Arnsberg is also known for its cozy cafes and traditional German bakeries, perfect for a relaxing afternoon break. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a unique experience, the Sauerland Museum is a must-visit destination.
