Füssen museum, City museum in St. Mang's Abbey, Füssen, Germany.

The Museum der Stadt Füssen occupies part of the former St. Mang's Abbey, including the Kaisersaal, the upper floors of the oval building on the south side with the library hall, and the refectory below it, visible through a ceiling opening. The Anna Chapel holds the Füssener Totentanz. Exhibits cover the town's history, the abbey, and lute and violin making.

St. Mang's Abbey was founded in the 8th century and became a major religious center for the region. After it closed in 1802, the building changed hands several times until Füssen purchased it in 1909 to establish the museum.

The collection shows how lute and violin making shaped Füssen's identity from the 1600s onward through original instruments and craftsmen's tools. This tradition remains central to how locals understand their town today.

The museum features paintings of the dance of death in the Anna Chapel, with guided tours available in German and English for more detailed information. Visitors should allow time for exploring multiple floors and be prepared to climb stone staircases.

The oldest instrument on display is a lute made by Füssen luthier Wolfgang Wolff in the mid-16th century, listed among Bavaria's 100 Heimatsschätze. The museum also houses the archive of the German Lute Society.
