Museum of Christian Art and Bremen's Church History

The Cathedral Museum in the Lutheran St. Peter's Cathedral was founded in 1987 to house finds from the medieval bishops' tombs, which were discovered during an archaeological excavation in the central nave of the cathedral in the 1970s.

In addition to these burial objects and textiles from the 11th to 15th centuries, the Cathedral Museum also displays ecclesiastical art objects (altar utensils, paintings, sculptures, historical wall paintings) and, as an ecumenical museum, also loans from the Bremen Catholic Church and offers an overview of the history of the cathedral and the Archdiocese of Bremen. The Cathedral Museum is run and managed by the Bremen Cathedral Foundation on behalf of the owner (St. Peter's Cathedral Parish).
