"Angermuseum" Erfurt
The former Electoral-Mainzian Pack- und Waagehof from the early 18th century with its richly decorated magnificent facade is one of the most beautiful buildings in Erfurt's old town. Over a hundred years ago, in 1886, a picture gallery was opened here. From this, other special museums developed in a short time. Today, the Stadtpalast am Anger houses the art museum of the state capital Erfurt: Here, landscape paintings, still lifes and portraits from the 19th century to the present can be seen, as well as the largest collection of Thuringian faiences and arts and crafts. Prominent is the most important collection of medieval art from Erfurt and Thuringia with works of international rank. On the first floor is one of the few surviving murals of German Expressionism by Erich Heckel.
