Vonderau Museum

The Vonderau Museum in Fulda is a large institution with exhibition spaces dedicated to regional history, nature, and art collections. The holdings are organized across distinct sections that present cultural perspectives and natural specimens from the surrounding area.

The institution was founded in 1875 from donations made by the Fulda cathedral chapter and later renamed to honor a scholar who was instrumental in building its collections. This naming reflects recognition of his contributions to the museum's growth.

The collections reflect artistic traditions that have shaped the region for centuries, displaying works deeply connected to local history and identity. Visitors can observe how creative expression has developed here and what themes have moved regional makers across generations.

The museum is open for visits from Tuesday through Sunday, with complete wheelchair accessibility throughout all exhibition areas and spaces. Visitors should allow several hours to move comfortably through the different sections and properly view the collections.

The museum contains a planetarium with a specialized dome where visitors can experience virtual journeys through space. This facility offers perspectives on astronomy that stand apart from the stationary exhibits elsewhere in the building.
