Stadtmuseum Fembohaus, Renaissance merchant house museum in Nuremberg, Germany.
Stadtmuseum Fembohaus is a late 16th-century building with four floors that presents the history of Nuremberg through various exhibitions. The rooms are preserved with original fixtures and show daily life and artistic works from different periods.
The house was built between 1591 and 1596 for a Dutch merchant and served for centuries as the home of a wealthy family. After World War II it was reconstructed and converted into a city museum in 1953.
The house demonstrates how wealthy merchants lived during the Renaissance, with ornate rooms and elaborate ceiling details. Visitors can see the importance that craftsmanship and artistic skill held for these families.
The museum is located in the heart of the Old Town and is easily accessible on foot, with good access for visitors with mobility issues. There is much to see, so plan for at least two hours to explore the rooms comfortably.
The museum houses a wooden model of Nuremberg's Old Town showing how the city looked around 100 years ago. This detailed replica is particularly valuable because it preserves part of the city that was heavily damaged during the wars.
