Stadtmuseum Oldenburg

Stadtmuseum Oldenburg is a museum complex in northern Germany that presents the history of this city across different time periods. The site consists of a main building and three historic villas that house exhibitions about Oldenburg's development.

The museum was founded in 1915 when collector Theodor Francksen donated his private collection and two buildings to the city. This gift formed the foundation for what is now a significant institution with extensive holdings.

The museum displays everyday objects and traditional crafts that reveal how Oldenburg's residents lived and worked over the generations. These collections show the local practices and skills that shaped daily life in this region.

The complex has a shared entrance area with a connected building that houses a museum shop and cafe. This central hub provides good orientation and easy access to basic amenities.

The museum operates an Artothek, a collection of artworks that visitors can not only view but also borrow to take home. This makes it an unusual place where art becomes accessible for extended engagement and enjoyment.
