Museum am Dom, Diocesan museum in Würzburg, Germany

Museum am Dom occupies four floors of the Kilianshaus on Kiliansplatz, between Würzburg Cathedral and the Neumünster collegiate church. The building was fully renovated and rebuilt between 2001 and 2003. Its permanent collection holds around 300 paintings and sculptures from the 10th to the 21st century, shown in seven themed sections that pair modern works with old masters.

The Museum am Dom opened in March 2003 under Bishop Paul-Werner Scheele in the Kilianshaus, a building thoroughly renovated and rebuilt between 2001 and 2003. The site between the cathedral and Neumünster was once the Leichhof, the cathedral cemetery used until about the mid-16th century, and a Salhof whose well became a latrine in the 13th century. Since May 2026 the Kilianshaus is being renovated and the museum is closed, with reopening planned for 2028.

The permanent collection of around 300 paintings and sculptures spans the 10th to 21st centuries. Modern and contemporary artists such as Käthe Kollwitz, Otto Dix, Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol are set against old masters including Tilman Riemenschneider, Georg Anton Urlaub and Johann Peter Wagner. Seven themed sections, with printed "Charakterwalks" booklets, let visitors choose their own route without prior art knowledge.

The Museum am Dom is closed for renovation: the Kilianshaus, which houses it on four floors between the cathedral and Neumünster, has been under construction since May 2026, with reopening planned for 2028. Visitors should check the diocese's notices before planning a trip, as the permanent collection of some 300 works is not on view during this period.

The museum preserves objects from the period when Würzburg Diocese controlled vast territories and monastic lands. These items tell the story of a time when the church held influence far beyond the city itself.
