Augustinermuseum
An art museum housed in a converted medieval monastery, with original cathedral sculptures, Upper Rhine medieval art and paintings by Grünewald.
The Augustinermuseum occupies a 13th-century Augustinian friary that was extensively remodeled into bright, high-ceilinged galleries. It displays original gargoyles and statues from the cathedral tower, medieval altarpieces and stained glass, and works by Matthias Grünewald, Hans Baldung Grien and other Upper Rhine painters. Upstairs are 19th-century Black Forest genre paintings. Admission is about €8, and it is closed on Mondays. It is a five-minute walk from the cathedral and can easily be combined with an old-town tour.
