Goslar Museum
Goslarer Museum
A city history museum beside the small Abzucht river, telling the story of a thousand-year-old imperial city and the rise and fall of its mining industry.
The Goslar Museum stands beside the Abzucht, a small river flowing through the old town, in a traditional townhouse. Its exhibits cover the city's history from imperial residence to the boom of the mining industry, medieval religious art, coin and mineral collections, and architectural models of the old town. Together they help explain the background of the World Heritage sites. It is a medium-sized museum, closed on Mondays, and tickets cost about €5. It is about a 5-minute walk south of the Market Square and makes a good backup on a rainy day.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun 10:00–17:00
