Be it early Islam, modern or concrete - Bamberg's galleries and museums are home to a diversity of art forms and styles.

Whilst the New Residence - itself a monument to the renaissance and baroque eras - features paintings by German masters such as Lukas Cranach and baroque artists, the Museum of Early Islamic Art retraces developments in the Orient. Regional and international artists can present their works of art at the Villa Dessauer, whilst the "Ludwig Collection" features valuable porcelain and faience.
