The German Gemstone Museum occupies three floors with 800 square meters of exhibition space, displaying over 10,000 specimens of minerals and precious stones.

The museum stands in a region where gemstone processing has continued since the 14th century, with local agate workshops established during the 16th century.

The permanent collection exhibits gems, diamonds, engravings, and sculptures that represent 6,000 years of cutting and engraving techniques from various civilizations.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00, offering guided tours and special programs for children including educational rallies and workshops.

The vault cellar features annually rotating exhibitions focusing on specific aspects of gemology, complemented by wine tasting events pairing regional wines with stone presentations.
