The Knauf Museum is located in the middle of the picturesque old town of Iphofen - a real highlight for art and culture lovers.
Housed in a historic baroque building on the market square, the museum surprises visitors with an extraordinary collection: faithful plaster casts of world-famous reliefs from five millennia of art history provide a fascinating insight into the advanced civilizations of mankind - from Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece to India, China and Central America. The high-quality presentation is particularly impressive: the works of art are not only presented chronologically, but also thematically - supplemented by multimedia content and a clear architectural design. A modern extension combines old and new in a stylish way and has even been awarded the Bavarian Tourism Architecture Prize.
In addition to the permanent exhibition, the museum scores with regularly changing special exhibitions on art and cultural-historical themes, which also attract international attention. Whether as an excursion destination for a cultural trip or as a stop on a round trip through Franconia - the Knauf Museum is definitely one of the most interesting cultural sites in the region.
