Historisches Museum, Regensburg

The history museum of Regensburg is located in a former church (dates back to early 13th century) presents the history of art and culture in Regensburg and Bavaria since stone age to the 19th century. There are 3 exhibitions, prehistory, Roman and middle ages. There are numerous astonishingly beautiful artifacts in each room. In addition to that, the church area is still well reserved and amazing. This is a must visit in Regensburg. The entrance is 5 euros and free entry on 1st Sunday of the month

First floor has particularly good exhibits. Limited options for English speakers. Exhibits only displayed in German. Affordable audio guide available but provided for only very limited exhibits. Experience largely spoilt by inhospitable staff. Our quiet respectful family was followed very closely by staff checking our every step. Made to feel very unwelcome. I have a foot injury and stopped at a chair for one short minute to rest before continuing. A staff member rudely gestured for me to move on without discussion or compassion for the pain I was clearly in. None of the staff talked with any of our German speaking party. No effort or pride was shown by staff in discussing exhibits. Only obvious and invasive policing. It’s disappoint they don’t understand the best way to protect their exhibits is to engage their customers and share their love of history. Museums must evolve to survive. Basic human values should be mandatory.
