This is an incredible, large, and diverse museum. I really enjoyed the arms and armor collection, the scientific tools collection, and the Roman and Dark Ages collections. There are tons of other collections too such as art, decorative objects, toys, musical instruments, sleighs, etc. It is well worth visiting and a must-do in Nuremberg.

A magnificent museum with a stellar collection. Be warned— you WILL get lost, but you’ll have fun doing so. So much art from so many time periods along with countless treasures from some of the great masters of the Germanic world make this a must-do in Nuremberg. I loved it so much that when I ran out of time on my first visit I came back the next day to see more! The baroque/renaissance/enlightenment section is definitely the highlight

Wonderful museum with a great exhibitions and objects from prehistory and early history; Middle Ages; late middle ages; musical instruments; renaissance baroque; crafts and medicine; fashion and clothing since 1700; folk art; arms and armor hunting and more. The staff were so kind and friendly guiding how to get the most from the museum. You need 3 hours or more to see all the museum. They have a family plan which makes it affordable$14. We strongly recommend it.

This museum contains the oldest preserved globe, as well as one of the four Golden Hats, and many other treasures besides. The exhibits go from the Stone Age, through the Bronze Age, Roman era, Wandering of the Peoples, the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Reformation, and into the early Modern Era. It is a very impressive place indeed.
