The Badisches Landesmuseum

The Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe Palace houses collections spanning 50,000 years of human history across four floors. The museum combines regional artifacts with works that connect the area to global cultural developments.

The museum was established in 1919 and opened in the palace in 1921, during a period when the city was rebuilding. The palace suffered severe damage during the 1940s, but most of the collections were protected and later restored to display.

The collections display craftsmanship and artistic traditions from different periods, reflecting how people lived and created in the region. You can see how techniques and styles evolved through the centuries.

The museum is housed in Karlsruhe Palace, making it easy to locate and navigate through clear signage. Information boards are available in multiple languages to help visitors understand the collections.

The institution oversees not just the main collection in the palace, but also manages eight additional museums and archives across the Baden region. This network approach allows different locations to preserve local stories and objects in their original contexts.
