Schnütgen Museum, Religious art museum in Kulturquartier, Cologne, Germany.
The Schnütgen Museum occupies St. Cecilia's Church, a Romanesque structure featuring medieval murals and modern exhibition spaces for religious artifacts.
Alexander Schnütgen, a Catholic priest and collector, donated his extensive collection of religious artworks to Cologne in 1906, leading to the museum's opening in 1910.
The collection includes 13,000 pieces spanning from antiquity to modern times, with displays of ivories, stained glass, textiles, metalwork, and religious paintings.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with extended hours until 8:00 PM on Thursdays, and admission costs 6 euros for adults.
The museum houses rare artifacts including the ninth-century Comb of St Heribert and a late Carolingian evangeliary dating from 860-880.
