The Museum Embankment has a museum to suit all ages and interests. Dive into contemporary design at the Museum of Applied Art (Museum für Angewandte Kunst); discover the evolution of cinema at the German Film Museum (Deutsches Filmmuseum); or admire ethnographic artifacts from around the globe at the Museum of World Culture. For art lovers, the headline act is the Städel Art Institute, filled with modern art masterpieces, while the Liebieghaus and Giersch Museum turn the focus onto German art.
If you’re planning to visit more than one museum, it’s worth investing in a combination ticket. A Museumsufer Ticket offers access to 34 museums on and around the Museum Embankment for two consecutive days, while admission to many museums is included with the Frankfurt Pass.
