Stadtmuseum Münster
A free city history museum that uses models and artifacts to tell Münster's story, from its prince-bishop era to its reconstruction after World War II.
The museum displays Münster's history chronologically: its founding by missionaries in 793, its days as a Hanseatic trading city and the Anabaptist kingdom, the peace treaty negotiations, and the rebuilding after about 90 percent of the city was destroyed in World War II. Models of the old town and before-and-after photos are very clear. Admission is free, and it is closed Mondays. It suits visitors who want an in-depth understanding of the old town, and it is located in the Salzstraße shopping district.
