The Angermuseum is Erfurt's premier art museum, housed in a beautiful Baroque palace that was originally a merchant's residence. The collection focuses on Thuringian art, spanning from the Middle Ages to contemporary works. Visitors can admire Gothic altarpieces, Renaissance paintings, and 19th-century landscapes, as well as rotating exhibitions of modern art. The building itself is a highlight, with its ornate facade and grand staircase.
