St. Anne's Museum Quarter

The St. Anne's Museum Quarter spans 4,000 square meters of exhibition space within restored monastery buildings from 1515, displaying medieval art collections.

Originally constructed as an Augustinian nunnery for unmarried daughters of wealthy citizens, the building transformed into a poorhouse in 1601 before becoming a museum in 1915.

The museum houses Germany's largest collection of medieval altarpieces, including the Grönauer Altar and liturgical items from Lübeck's historical churches.

Located at St. Annen-Straße 15, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM with multimedia exhibits and a children's section.

The museum complex incorporates 2,000 square meters of courtyards and gardens that demonstrate the evolution of social interactions throughout different historical periods.
