Museum Bayerisches Vogtland

Museum Bayerisches Vogtland occupies a former hospital building from the 13th century and displays regional artifacts, mineral collections, and traditional crafts. The exhibitions showcase the area's history and development through multiple collection categories.

The institution began in 1896 with a mineral collection from Professor Moroff and moved to its current building in 1983. This relocation allowed the collection to expand significantly and become more accessible to the public.

The museum displays works by local artists in a dedicated gallery space and holds one of Hof's largest art collections. Visitors can see how regional creative traditions developed and continue to influence the area today.

The building is fully wheelchair accessible, allowing all visitors to move freely through all areas. Regular rotating exhibitions about regional development and traditions provide new content to explore throughout your visit.

A section opened in 2012 documents the stories of refugees who arrived in Hof after World War II and shaped the city's development. This collection preserves personal memories and records from that period, offering crucial perspective on how the region was transformed.
