Deutsches Romantik-Museum

The Deutsches Romantik-Museum presents unique originals with innovative exhibition forms that make it possible to experience the Romantic period as a key epoch. It is the first museum in the world dedicated to the Romantic era as a whole. In dialogue with the Goethe-Gallery and the neighbouring Goethe-Haus, manuscripts, graphic art, paintings and everyday objects are on display. The Deutsches Romantik-Museum offers a multimedia - in the Romantic sense synaesthetic - realisation of ideas, works and constellations of people. Goethe himself is put in a new light.

Guests are invited to embark on a varied search for the dazzling phenomenon of romance. Spread out over two floors of the museum, the exhibition introduces a major epoch in the history of German culture in 35 installations. Each display focusses on selected objects from the collections of the Freies Deutsches Hochstift. Visitors can stroll along the trail of Romanticism and get to know its ideas, works and constellations of people.The stories told by the installations relate to and complement one another. They show Romanticism in all its facets: as an epoch in the history of culture, an aesthetic programme, a frame of mind, or simply a feeling.
