Reiss-Engelhorn Museums

Reiss-Engelhorn Museums is a complex of four buildings in Mannheim housing archaeological finds, ethnographic objects, photography, and natural science collections from various periods and continents. The exhibition spaces are spread across the historic city center.

The museum collection started with artworks gathered by industrialists Carl Reiss and his wife Anna Engelhorn from Mannheim. The complex took its current form in the 1950s and has continued growing through new acquisitions since then.

The museums display works from many cultures and historical periods, gathered by local and international collectors over time. Visitors can see how different societies preserved their artistic creations and everyday objects.

The museums are accessible on most days of the week, and all buildings are within easy walking distance of each other. Wheelchair access is available throughout the exhibition areas, and rest seating is provided throughout.

The collections include objects from five continents, with rare photographs taken by travel photographers in the 1800s. These images show places and people that no longer exist today.
