Lübeck's museums cover a broad spectrum, from the ecclesiastical art of St. Anne's art gallery and museum and the impressive art collections of the Behnhaus and Drägerhaus Museum to the history of marzipan at the marzipan salon.St. Anne's art gallery and museum
St. Anne's art gallery is a new gallery on the site of the former abbey church in the medieval St. Aegidius quarter. It is a wonderful opportunity to see contemporary and 20th century art, including the collections of the Museum of Art and Cultural History. St. Anne's museum, housed in the former Augustinian abbey, offers displays of religious art and Germany's most important collection of medieval carved altar pieces in the north German style, including Hans Memling's outstanding Passion altar of 1491.Behnhaus and Drägerhaus museum
Lübeck's 19th and 20th century art collection is on display in two neighbouring, 18th-century, mansion-style merchant's houses. The Behnhaus is considered one of the finest patrician town houses anywhere in northern Germany. It has the grandest, most prestigious hallway in Lübeck and reception rooms in the classical style - art and interior design in perfect harmony reflecting the spirit of the age of Goethe.Marzipan salon
