Dommuseum Ottonianum
Dommuseum Ottonianum Magdeburg
An archaeology museum beside Cathedral Square, displaying remains of the Ottonian-era cathedral and objects from Queen Edith's tomb.
The Dommuseum Ottonianum opened in 2018 in a former bank building beside Cathedral Square. It presents the results of archaeological excavations on the square: architectural fragments of the Ottonian-era church, precious textiles, gold and silver objects, and the story of how Queen Edith's remains were identified. Multimedia displays explain how Magdeburg became the centre of the empire in the 10th century, making it a good follow-up after visiting the cathedral. Closed on Mondays. Admission is about 8 euros.
