Historisches Museum Frankfurt
#fallingforfall
Amazing museum and an essential part of a trip to Frankfurt.
The museum covers the history of the city, showing step by step on how the city has grown and changed over the time. There is also a floor dedicated to contemporary Frankfurt, which is a social history.
The old palace ruins underneath the museum are fascinating and a wonderful example of how historical sites can be integrated with modern buildings. It's an immersive experience walking over the excavated foundations!
As a tourist the museum is especially accommodating in that all of the signs are in both German and English, with no abbreviations or omissions.
A fascinating if unashamedly harrowing examination of the city's past, and a reminder of how easily fascism can rise to power.
