"The street leads the stroller into a time that has vanished." With the words of Walter Benjamin, the museums of the city of Bamberg cordially invite you to take a stroll through the newly arranged picture gallery. The exhibition shows works from the municipal collections. They tell stories, conceal them or encourage visitors to rethink their own stories and invent new ones. Because walking creates new perspectives.

Outstanding paintings from the Middle Ages to the 20th century bear witness to the skilful collecting passion of Bamberg's citizens, especially in the 19th century. Their donations still form an important part of the collection today, which is displayed in a half-timbered wing of the former court of Emperor Henry II.
