Grassi Museum
Three museums in an Art Deco complex: applied arts, ethnology, and the university musical instrument collection.
The Grassi Museum is an Art Deco complex from the 1920s housing three independent museums. The Museum of Applied Arts holds objects from antiquity through the Bauhaus to contemporary design. The Museum of Ethnology is one of Germany's most important ethnographic collections. The University of Leipzig Musical Instrument Museum holds one of the world's oldest pianos and period instruments from the Bach era, some of which can be heard played. A combined ticket for all three costs about 15 euros, and the museums are closed on Mondays. It is on Johannisplatz on the eastern side of the old town, a 10-minute walk away.
