With an incredible variety of sacred art from the 900s to the 1900s, Paderborn’s diocesan museum is the oldest in the German speaking world.
It was founded in 1853 as a kind of repository for liturgical works that no had a place in the diocese’s churches.
In 1975 the museum moved into a new building, conceived to resemble a treasure box and built on the southwest corner of the cathedral tower.
Lovers of medieval art won’t know where to begin; the Romanesque Imad Madonna from the 1050s is one of the oldest depictions of Mary in western art, together with manuscripts, paintings on wood and canvas, and an invaluable portable altar by the 12th-century goldsmith Roger of Helmarshausen.
I didn't visit the museum but did go to the café. The café is quite nice but service is incredibly slow so, if you are not prepared to spend an hour there whilst having 1 coffee and a cake then go elsewhere. If you have the time, and it's not too busy, then either sitting outside or viewing passers by from inside its a good venue. The coffee was ok and the cake selection was ok too.

We were in the exhibition "Rubens and the Baroque of the North".
The arrangement and combination of the exhibits were very popular. Only the part with more modern exhibits was a bit exhausting. But that has more to do with a personal attitude towards it. That's why 5 stars
The Rubens exhibition was very successful. I particularly liked the modern part. The mirror artwork in particular invites you to leave your familiar perspective. I can only recommend everyone to get actively involved in art.
A super well thought-out corona concept. I've always felt very safe. COMPLIMENTARY to the museum team and the curators.
