Martin von Wagner Museum

Martin von Wagner Museum, University art museum in Würzburg Residence, Germany.

The Martin von Wagner Museum occupies the south wing of the Prince-Bishop's Residence and displays three collection departments. The first contains ancient artworks from the Mediterranean region, the second presents European paintings, and the third includes graphic works and prints.

The collection started in 1832 when Franz Joseph Fröhlich gathered Dutch masters for the university. A quarter century later, Johann Martin von Wagner significantly expanded the holdings with ancient and contemporary works.

The museum is named after its most significant donor, who bequeathed his collection to the university in the 19th century. The galleries show how European collectors of that era gathered both ancient and modern artworks together.

Access is through the south wing of the Residence, and the building is wheelchair accessible. You should allow enough time to comfortably view all three collection departments.

The Greek pottery collection is one of the three largest in Germany and includes pieces from the Minoan period through the Hellenistic era. These objects reveal ceramic techniques and artistic styles spanning several millennia.
