Landesmuseum Mainz
A state museum of art and history housed in the former electoral stables, with collections spanning Roman stone carvings, medieval sculpture, Dutch painting and Art Nouveau glass.
The State Museum is located in the former electoral stables on Grosse Bleiche, and the golden horse on the roof at the entrance is its emblem. Its collection spans from prehistory to the present day: an original Roman Jupiter Column, medieval stone carvings and painted works from Mainz, Renaissance and Dutch Golden Age paintings, 18th-century porcelain and Art Nouveau glassware. The Jupiter Column is one of the most important Roman monumental columns north of the Alps. Admission is about EUR 6, and the museum stays open later on Tuesday evenings. It is about a 10-minute walk from the cathedral.
