Stadtmuseum im Fembo-Haus

No visit to the mediaeval city of Nuremberg would be complete without experiencing the Stadtsmuseum in Fembo House- a grand old edifice just up from the Hauptmarket...After receiving a hearty welcome and introduction to the museum my tour began with a short lift ride to the fourth floor offering outstanding vistas of old town Nuremberg....One highlight of the top floor was a computer generated reconstruction of the beautiful Jewish Synagogue brutally demolished in 1938... There are also two faithfully carved models from middle ages Nuremberg... Descending the ornately carved wooden staircase brings you to a veritable managerie of Nuremberg artwork , prints , weapons and unique curios with the tour finally ending at the groundfloor exhibit of graffic , confronting photographs of heavily bombed Nuremberg in 1945...A visit to the Stadtsmuseum is certainly a multifaceted sojourn into the fascinating and tumultuous history of one of Germany's grandest old cities.

Really interesting museum, in a lovely historical building. The VR headset tour of the demolished Jewish Synagogue was a highlight, as was the model of the town just before WWII.

The clerk apologized for not having any more English listening devices; as it turned out, we didn’t need them. The museum spoke for itself, containing not only artistic treasures from Nuremberg’s past but the house itself, being one of the only similar mansions to survive the wartime bombing, displayed all manner of ancient and clever German craftsmanship. Indeed, the Fembo mansion is the most important artifact of the museum in my opinion. The museum also does a great job of showing before, during, and after photographs of the wartime bombing. The museum is centrally located, easy to find, and affords wonderful views of the city as it is on a hill near the fortress. We hit the museum before we did anything else in Nuremberg, and it turned out to be a great strategy as our visit to the museum gave us a whole other level of understanding the city as we explored it. Friends and my own research had alerted me to the quality of this museum, and I can confirm that even the most jaded of my party agreed that it was a highlight of our trip.

Pleasantly impressed. Often overlooked, but has some interesting interactive things and of course great art.

The City Museum at Fembo House is a remarkable testament to Nuremberg's rich history. The former grand merchant's residence has been transformed into a fascinating showcase of the city's past, offering you a glimpse into how it evolved over time. Through its meticulously preserved original rooms, reconstructed settings, and interactive exhibits, the museum vividly illustrates Nuremberg's transformation from a medieval trading hub to a modern metropolis, encompassing both its glorious moments and the scars of war.

City Museum at Fembo House is opened every day except Monday. It is part of the Nurnberg card or you have to purchase a ticket. To get there to best solution is U-Bahn. (Ul/ Ull: Lorenzkirche stop, take exit "Hauptmarkt") This museum is the best place to learn about Nuremberg's history. Lot of nice and original pieces, collection of paintings, audio plays and lot of information about the city. How it grows during the medieval period until nowdays. Highly recommended as very didactic and instructive.

Well designed and presented museum about Nuremberg. If you visit one of the 5 other partipating museums the same day you can visit it for 3 extra euros to get a day pass.

Very informative museum. The virtual reality exhibits are amazing! The 3D map upstairs is fascinating. I highly recommend a visit to the Fembo House when visiting Nürnberg.
