Grafschaftsmuseum Wertheim, Museum of regional history and art in Wertheim, Germany

The Grafschaftsmuseum Wertheim occupies a building complex in the old town that includes the Altes Rathaus, the Haus zu den Vier Gekrönten and the Blaue Haus, a half-timbered house painted with smalt blue. The Altes Rathaus, a Renaissance building, provides around 2,200 m² of exhibition space. The collection holds about 19,000 objects and 1,000 coin strikes.

In 1878 the Wertheimer Zeitung appealed for documents and pictures relating to Wertheim to start a city collection; the town council provided a cabinet and supervision. From 1886 it was shown in the attic of the Kilianskapelle, and in 1904 the newly founded historical association took charge. In 1988 the collection moved into the Alte Rathaus, opened there on 27 August 1989 by Minister President Lothar Späth and renamed Grafschaftsmuseum in 1993.

The museum displays how people in this region lived and worked over the centuries. You can see traditional crafts like indigo printing and paper cutting that shaped local life.

The main house at the Alten Rathaus offers around 2,200 m² of exhibition space across several floors, with the Otto-Modersohn-Kabinett on the second floor. The neighbouring Haus zu den Vier Gekrönten is reached since 1999 by a glass footbridge. The vaulted cellar can be booked for wine tastings.

One building called the House of the Four Crowned Saints displays stone carvings of four martyrs who were patron saints of stonemasons on its outer wall. This type of decoration is rarely found north of the Alps.
