Albrecht-Dürer-Haus (Albrecht Dürer House)
From 1509, Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), Germany's most famous painter, lived and worked in the mighty half-timbered house for almost 20 years. It is not only one of the few undestroyed town houses from Nuremberg's heyday, but above all the only artist's house from the 16th century that has survived in Northern Europe. Today, the rooms convey an authentic atmosphere of bourgeois residential culture of the Dürer period and at the same time reflect the history of the house as the first German artists' museum since 1828. Temporary exhibitions also show the rich holdings of the city's art collections, as well as valuable copies of Dürer paintings. Historical printing techniques are explained in the workshop.
