PARTICULARITIES:

n parallel to the permanent exhibition, changing special exhibitions are shown in the museum. Family-friendly and barrier-free is the aspect under which all parts of the exhibition are designed. A visit to the museum can be rounded off with a climb to the castle tower's viewing platform. The view of the city as far as the Ore Mountains is rewarding for the 179 steps that have to be climbed.
