museumkrems

The museumkrems is located in the heart of the old town of Krems an der Donau - in the listed setting of a former Dominican monastery from the 13th century. The museum includes not only the baroque inner courtyard and the monastery church, but also a historic wine cellar.

A permanent exhibition presents the history and culture of the city on the Danube - consisting of extensive city and private collections. Changing special exhibitions invite visitors on ever new journeys of discovery. Selected exhibits and archaeological finds are used to present "Life with the river". The economic, artistic and social significance of the town of Krems since the Middle Ages is vividly traced. The Krems Baroque painter Martin Johann Schmidt is of particular importance. The "Kremser Pfennig" - the oldest coin in Austria - can also be admired live.

Exciting contemporary art is exhibited in the Modern Gallery - the former sleeping quarters of the monks - and in the Library Gallery.

Enjoyment in the museum: Krems mustard & top wines
The museumkrems also focuses on two culinary specialties of Krems: on the one hand, the museum - in cooperation with the landlady Ulli Amon-Jell - deals with the famous Krems mustard. Visitors learn the secrets and information about the production and recipe of this world-famous specialty.

The museum also sheds light on viticulture in Krems - and the international triumph of Krems wine.
