Museum Boppard

About

Our museum has experienced many changes throughout its over one hundred-year residence in the Electoral Castle. One of the most sweeping changes involved refurbishing and restoring the building. Now complete, the castle and its history have been transformed into one of the main attractions, and have therefore moved into the focus of the exhibition. The City History Section presents excerpts from the history of Boppard in the late Middle Ages and the early modern era. Our extensive collection of the castle’s wooden furnishings also tells the tale of Michael Thonet,one of the city’s famous sons, who started out as a particularly imaginative craftsman and ended up creating a global company. The programme at our museum also includes regular temporary exhibitions and events looking into history and art.
