Historischer Kunstbunker, Military bunker museum in Nuremberg, Germany.
The underground complex extends 24 meters below Nuremberg Castle, featuring a network of passages carved into hard sandstone with temperature control systems.
In 1940, German forces converted beer cellars into secured storage facilities to protect artworks from Allied air raids during World War II.
The bunker contained numerous treasures including the Behaim terrestrial globe, imperial regalia, church windows, and works from distinguished artist Albrecht Dürer.
The site operates daily guided tours at specific times, with entrance permitted exclusively through guided visits, maintaining temperatures between 13 and 15 degrees Celsius.
The facility incorporated specialized climate control mechanisms and bomb-proof doors to maintain optimal preservation conditions for the stored cultural artifacts.
