It was an interesting museum with a lot of information on Albrect Durer's life and art. There were some original etchings from copper plates but all the great art he produced is in various important European museums. They don't know what many of the rooms were used for so it isn't like Rembrandt's House where it is set up exactly like it was when he lived there. If you are a fan of Durer and visit Nuremberg you definitely need to see his house.

An interesting museum, located in the very house Albrecht Durer himself lived in back in the 15th century. Learn about his life, how he worked, and see some of his original works. If you can, take a tour with 'Agnes Durer,' the artist's wife, which are held daily in both German and English.

The building is located near the castle among other old half-timbered houses. The famous painter’s father was Hungarian, so it’s a must-see site for us. Durer bought the house in 1509 and he lived there until his death (1528). It was renovated in 1971. Now it’s a museum with the documents and objects of the famous painter.

This is a must-see in Nurnberg. The museum is nicely organized and represents the painter and print-maker very well. The house is attractive inside as well as the half-timbered exterior, but the reproductions of some of his most famous works serve to illustrate what he accomplished in his lifetime. I've seen several of the originals in other museums, but this is a real treat and whets the appetite to see more.

Albrecht Durer was perhaps the most accomplished of the Northern Renaissance artists and spent the latter years of his life working in Nuremberg, in a house near the shadow of the castle. The house was preserved over the years and has been opened to the public. Very little furnishing from his time remains, but the structure itself is wonderful, and the museum there is small but worth visiting.

A must if you visit Nuremberg. A well preserved house and museum to Dürer. Very informative and interesting. We were lucky we visit when they had a exhibition of his original works on display. Nice little museum gift shop opposite as well.

My wife has studied Art more extensively than I have (though I am learning as we go!) and was excited to visit the Albrecht Durer house in Nuremberg. Seemingly new to me I was surprised when I already knew some of his art (rabbit, praying hands) and learned a couple of things from her that are not covered in the Wiki quote below. Note that on the rabbit picture is his famous signature of an A with a D inside of it. Given that it was in the 1500s,it is considered the first logo/brand. He put it on all his woodcut prints which his wife cleverly sold in market places creating a shift from the traditional patron commissioned art to the uniquely new idea of mass sales to average people at affordable prices. This garnered a lot of wealth for them and elevated him to Rockstar Status at home and internationally. All this was achieved before he died at the young age of 56. Here is a quote describing him from Wikipedia: “Why was Albrecht Dürer known as a German Leonardo? Albrecht Durer is sometimes called the "German Leonardo" because he was a "Renaissance Man" and mastered many types of art and scholarship. Durer is often remembered as a talented creator of woodcut prints. However, Durer was also a painter, drawer, and philosopher…. His paintings and engravings show the Northern interest in detail and Renaissance efforts to represent the bodies of humans and animals accurately.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Albrecht Dürer Haus museum in Nuremberg. Rooms in the house honor the works of the great German artist and also recreate living and work spaces (including the kitchen and printer’s workshop). Guided tours are available (with docents dressed in period costume as Dürer’s wife, Agnes!). Located at the foot of Nuremberg’s Imperial Castle, the Dürer house is well worth a visit.

Albrecht Durer House is located near the castle among other old half-timbered houses. Durer bought the house in 1509 and he lived there until he died in 1528. It was renovated in 1971. Now it’s a museum with documents and copies of the artwork of the famous painter. Historical printing techniques are demonstrated in the workshop.

Considering it only a tourist site is more than wrong. The house of Albrecht Dürer, which hosted him when he was already an established painter, as it could afford, is located in one of the most beautiful squares of Nuremberg, which makes it even more "true" and in the right place. Is typical of the time that was built, around 400, with the half timbered (brat Wurstglöcklein) structure, 4 floors in masonry, well restored externally, and whit the interior showing how the houses of the time were, even of the wealthy people! Wooden stairs and low doors. Forget that what you see is not original, but get an idea of how it was to be! The room shown: the study, the dining room and especially the kitchen give it the perfect atmosphere. Also, although not the originals, exhibition of reproductions of some of his most famous work, I find good. I'm only sorry that I couldn't speak with "his wife", Mrs Agnes, because she was busy with guests! 7,50€, the cost of admission to the museum, are well spent.
