GRASSI Museums

The GRASSI houses three independent museums: Museum of Applied Arts, Museum of Ethnology and the Museum of Musical Instruments of the Leipzig University.
The Grassi museum at Johannisplatz was constructed between 1925 and 1929 and houses three large museums of national repute.


Diverse programs, the complex of buildings with its sparsely applied Art Deco decorations and its inner courts, as well as the park-like Alter Johannisfriedhof create a unique cultural attraction as well as a place of serenity and relaxation in the heart of the city.
