Albrecht Dürer's House

Why go

The Nuremberg Municipal Museums say Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) lived and worked in this large half-timbered house from 1509 until 1528, and that the house has been a memorial site for the artist since 1828. The museum's German page says the tour leads through the four-storey house, and that historic painting and printing techniques are demonstrated in its large workshop; changing exhibitions show items from the city's art collections. The English page says tours are led by an actress playing Dürer's wife Agnes, including a tour in English on Saturdays. The museum's English page calls it a 15th-century artist's house and its German page an artist's house of the 16th century. This record is the museum in the house, not Dürer or his works.
