Augustinermuseum

The Augustinermuseum is Freiburg's main art museum, housed in the former Augustinian monastery two blocks southeast of the Munster. The collection covers Upper Rhine art from the Middle Ages to the 19th century: Gothic altarpieces and stained glass (originally from the Munster), Baroque religious sculpture, 19th-century Black Forest landscape painting, and the Hans Baldung Grien collection of Renaissance drawings and prints. The museum building is itself a thirteenth-century monastery church with a modern architectural insertion (2010 renovation by Christoph Mackler) that creates the main exhibition spaces. EUR 8 adults, free for under-18s, Tuesday to Sunday 10 AM to 5 PM. Allow 60-90 minutes; the medieval stained glass on the third floor is the most distinctive single section. Families with kids: the space is manageable, lit well, and the Renaissance portraits hold kids' attention more reliably than contemporary abstraction. Combined ticket with the nearby Museum fur Stadtgeschichte (Museum of City History) is EUR 10.
