One of the most significant art collections in Bavaria is found at the Museum für Franken on the fort Marienberg in Würzburg. The museum is one of the internationally renowned German museums as a result of the important works by Franconian painters and artists working for Franconia that are on display. Paintings, sculptures, and handmade items from Würzburg and Mainfranken dating back to the early days to the 19th century are on display in the 45 showrooms. It's really nice to see such kind employees, they were very kind to my children in all the rooms as they shared facts and told stories. It enhanced the memory of our trip.

Good museum with interesting things, the main information about the rooms are in English but not on the items in the museums. But try and find the iPads that are around they are in German and English and have some good content to give you more info on some of the items.
