The Städel Museum is one of Germany’s oldest and most prestigious art museums, founded in 1815 by Johann Friedrich Städel. Its importance lies in its outstanding collection, which covers 700 years of European art, from the Middle Ages to modern art, including masterpieces by artists such as Botticelli, Rembrandt, Picasso, and Richter. It is the legacy of a great collector and a vital cultural institution for the city.

For a quieter experience, it is best to visit the museum on weekdays, preferably on Tuesday or Wednesday morning just after opening.
