Reiff-Museum Aachen

The Reiff-Museum occupies a neobaroque sandstone building with high base floor and two main levels at Templergraben Street in Aachen.

Franz Reiff, professor of figure and landscape drawing, donated his art collection to the Technical University in 1902, leading to the museum's establishment in 1908.

The museum houses over 200 paintings, including copies of Old Masters, contemporary artworks, and original pieces intended for architecture students' education.

The collection is currently stored in the basement and access requires advance arrangements through the RWTH Aachen University administration.

A preserved Rococo portal from 1740-1760, originally from Pontstrasse 20, stands on the second floor as one of the last remaining teaching collection elements.
