Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen (Museum Zeughaus)

Usually they have good exhibitons with a good Level of information and detail. However not always in good shape. Try to see the various and changing expositions at the beginning and do not wait if possible. Prices are rather high but maybe this is how it works.

Great and well curated exhibitions of contemporary photography in their Zephyr location. Always worth a visit! Exhibitions are always accompanied by an extensive program of lectures, tours, workshops and other events. It really offers a lot!

The museum is nice, and I enjoyed the exhibits, but the interaction my husband and I had with a museum docent was so bizarre and (frankly) frightening that it ruined the whole experience. TL;DR version: An older Russian museum docent here cornered me (an American) and my husband (not an American) into multiple conversations about how awesome he thinks Putin is, then got mad when he found out we don’t think Putin is awesome, and yelled xenophobic threats at me as we were trying to leave. This happened several weeks ago, so this guy might not even be working there anymore. It’s a long story, but I’ll try to keep it brief. Husband and I went through the whole museum, and got the the Egyptian section. There was an older man at the door who was checking tickets, so we showed him ours, and he asked where we were from, mentioning that he is from Russia. We told him, and when he found out I’m from the US, he immediately launched into this a diatribe about how awesome Putin is, how the US creates false propaganda against Putin, etc. He also stated that the US was responsible for starting >everyleans over the railing

Always good exhibitions.
