Grassi Museum of Applied Arts

Had a great time! We spent 4 hours just going through the instruments and art. We didn't even get a chance to see the ethnographic art. Cash only for tickets in-person.

I absolutely loved the temporary exhibition on futuristic matériels and design for living through an apocalypse. So much hope for the future expressed, despite where we seem to be going. The permanent collection is great too, what I saw of it. Lots of beautiful ceramics…probably other things I missed. We happened on a ceramic market on the ground too, which was a special bonus. I was amazed by the quality, diversity and volume of works available for purchase. So many beautiful things!

This is a truly amazing and beautiful place! I spent two and a half days exploring every exhibit, and it was absolutely worth it. The atmosphere is enchanting, and the wonderful staff are always ready to assist, making the experience even more enjoyable. I was lucky enough to attend a small live classical music concert, and it was simply breathtaking! I would like to know their performance style so I can see something similar later. I highly recommend visiting this place—it’s an experience you won’t forget.

The musical instrument exhibit is really spectacular, tracing Western instruments chronologically over several hundred years. Many of the signs are in German so expect to use a translation app. The entry fee is cash only. Spent about 2 hours here but you could easily spend more if you desired. If you are a music student, current or past, this is a must see in Leipzig.

The Art Nouveau exibit is a must see. Be preapared to walk the museum's collection is nothing short of EXTENSIVE. The staff were helpful, knowledgeable about the collection , and courteous. Worth every step.

Amazing art objects from Antiquity until modern times through 3 different exhibitions. Such an impressive collection! There is a written guide for each exhibition which is available in different languages which is quite helpful because most explanations are in German. Free admisison to the permanent exhibition which is a plus.

The museum visit was free. The number of exhibits exposed is huge, but you have to be really passionate about this to stay and look at each one.

Very impressive collection of the musical instruments, not only European, with some very curious specimens. "Sound laboratory" was also very cool, though a bit skewed to various simple percussion instruments. Maybe the only disadvantage is the lack of English translation for a big part of exhibits.
