Rhein-Museum Koblenz

In the location's words:

The Rhine Museum in Koblenz has been around since 1912 - making it one of the oldest museums in Rhineland-Palatinate! Behind it is the Rhein-Museum e.V. association.

Today, the museum is located in Ehrenbreitstein, right at the foot of the mighty fortress.

The whole thing is a cultural history museum that shows you life on the Rhine in all its facets. You will be impressed right from the large entrance hall: there are huge steam engines, impressive ship models and even a real highlight - a ship that is over 300 years old, the so-called "Ehrenbreitsteiner Schiff". Unique in the whole world!

There's plenty to discover in the main building: Rhine romance, shipping, fishing, castles, technology and even the early people who lived here. You can see models of Rhine ships, exciting exhibits about waterways and a gigantic model of the Koblenz ship bridge. The last wooden pilot barge on the Rhine is also located here. And art fans will also get their money's worth: over 100 works are waiting to be discovered by you. It's almost like being in a book - each room tells you a new chapter.

To keep things interesting, there is a new special exhibition every year. The museum has over 13,000 objects in its collection, including fossils from the Rhenish Slate Mountains and insect specimens.

On 1,600 square meters, you can fully immerse yourself in Rhenish culture.

So, what are you waiting for? Visit the Rhine Museum Koblenz and discover the Rhine from a whole new perspective!
