Museum of Medallic Art

The Museum of Medallic Art is housed in the Royal Palace and displays over 3000 objects made up of medals, coins, and decorative metalwork. The collection spans multiple centuries and tells the story of regional artistic traditions through these crafted items.

The museum opened in 2001 and operates in the Royal Palace, which served as a residence for Prussian rulers between 1750 and 1918. The building itself carries the story of royal occupation and regional governance from that era.

The collection shows how medal makers in this region developed their craft over centuries. Visitors can see how the design and technique of these works changed over time.

The museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 to 17:00 and on weekends from 10:00 to 18:00, with free admission for all visitors. Plan to spend time exploring the exhibits at a comfortable pace so you can read the information and look closely at the pieces.

The museum actively works with contemporary medal artists and collectors, meaning new pieces are regularly added to the collection. This ongoing collaboration connects the historical works with living artistic practice happening today.
