Schlesisches Museum zu Görlitz, Regional history museum in Görlitz, Germany.
Description
The Schlesisches Museum zu Görlitz occupies four connected historical buildings, including the Schönhof, with around 2000 square meters (21,500 square feet) of exhibition space. The collections focus on the history and culture of the Silesian region.
History
The museum opened in 2006 and documents Silesian history from the period of Polish duchies through Bohemian rule to the Prussian era. The collections reflect the different political and cultural phases the region experienced.
Culture
The collection includes artwork from regional artists and traditional craftsmanship techniques that have been practiced in Silesia for centuries. You can see how these skills appear in everyday objects and artistic pieces throughout the galleries.
Practical
The museum spans four connected buildings, so plan enough time to explore all the exhibition spaces comfortably. The displays are spread across multiple levels, so wear good walking shoes and be prepared for some stairs.
Did you know?
A glass roof covers an interior courtyard between buildings and protects an original facade decorated with sgraffito designs from 1526. This technique, where plaster layers are scratched to reveal patterns, shows artistic traditions from earlier centuries.
