The names Fugger and Welser are inseparably linked with the image of wealthy and influential merchant dynasties. So it is no wonder that the Fugger and Welser Adventure Museum focuses on their wide-ranging trade relations, their role in the financial business and in the coal and steel industry, their social networks, communication structures and success factors in the late 15th and 16th centuries. History can be experienced here through numerous interactive and multimedia stations and is also linked to the globalised economy of the present. The exhibition is bilingual - in German and English. Exciting discoveries and tricky tasks await young visitors.
