St. Annen Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The St. Annen Museum (St. Anne's Museum) is a museum and art exhibition hall in Lübeck, Germany.
The main building was previously a monastery built 1502–1515 in late brick gothic style. Since 1915 it has housed one of Lübeck's museums of art and cultural history. It has Germany's largest collection of medieval sculpture and altar-pieces, including the famous altars by Hans Memling (formerly at Lübeck Cathedral), Bernt Notke, Hermen Rode, Jacob van Utrecht and Benedikt Dreyer. These are exhibited in the building's first floor.
In the building's second floor is exhibited a large collection of home decor items and interiors of different periods, showing how the area's citizens lived from medieval times up to 1800s.
A modern addition houses special exhibits.
The museum is part of the Lübeck world heritage site.
