The art museum of the state capital of Erfurt is located in a magnificent building from the early 18th century, the former Electorate of Mainz Pack- und Waagehof. This building is characterized by an elaborately designed façade and is one of the most beautiful buildings in Erfurt's old town.
Originally, a picture gallery was opened here more than a hundred years ago in 1886 after Friedrich Nerly's son donated his artistic estate to the city of Erfurt. Over time, however, a diverse collection of cultural-historical significance developed, which was later divided between other buildings to create the City Museum, the Thuringian Folklore Museum and the Natural History Museum.
Today, the art museum of the state capital Erfurt is located in this baroque city palace.
