Museumsufer

Introduction

Museumsufer is a famous cultural district along the south bank of the Main in Frankfurt, renowned for its dense cluster of museums along one riverside stretch—the essence of Frankfurt's art and culture, and one of Europe's important museum concentrations. Along the beautiful riverside boulevard on the south bank (Sachsenhausen side) stand more than a dozen museums of varied and distinctive content, covering art, culture, history and science extremely broadly—including the Städel Art Institute (Frankfurt's most important art museum), housing masterpieces of European painting from the Middle Ages to modern times; the German Architecture Museum, the German Film Museum, the Museum of World Cultures, the Communication Museum, the Museum of Applied Art, the Liebieghaus (ancient sculpture), and more—truly all-encompassing, satisfying every interest. Most museums are set in elegant historic villas or modern buildings, themselves worth seeing. The south-bank Main riverside that links them is itself a scenic, tree-lined promenade, where you can enjoy the Main and the skyline across the river while moving leisurely between museums. Every summer the grand, lively "Museumsufer Festival" is held here. Strolling Frankfurt's Museumsufer and exploring its rich museums amid riverside scenery is a colorful cultural and artistic journey in the city.
