Mönchehaus Museum Goslar
Mönchehaus Museum für moderne Kunst
A modern art museum in a 16th-century half-timbered house, showing works by past winners of the Goslar Kaiserring prize.
The Mönchehaus is a half-timbered townhouse built in 1528, which has housed a modern art museum since 1978. It is linked to the Kaiserring (Emperor’s Ring), an international art prize awarded by Goslar. Its collection includes works by past winners such as Henry Moore, Joseph Beuys and Gerhard Richter, and there are sculptures in the garden. The contrast between the old house and contemporary art is great fun. It is closed on Mondays, and tickets cost about €7. It is on Jacobistraße in the northwest of the old town.
