The time has come: The Franciscan Museum will reopen its doors on Saturday, May 16, at 1 p.m. All of the museum’s permanent exhibitions will be accessible, in compliance with hygiene regulations. The sections “Celtic Princely Tomb at Magdalenenberg,” the Black Forest Collection, City History, and Carnival can be visited as usual with free admission.
To ensure a relaxed museum visit, a plan has been developed to protect both visitors and staff alike. This includes, among other things, the requirement to wear a face mask and guided visitor flow through the building.
We look forward to seeing you!
The Franciscan Museum has reopened just in time for International Museum Day. #DiscoverMuseums is the theme of this year’s event. Due to the current situation, many exhibits can only be experienced digitally. This makes it all the more gratifying that the Franciscan Museum is among the institutions that make in-person exploration possible.
What was it like when people used to meet at the well in Villingen to fetch water? How were fires fought in the past, and what did the pressurized water pipeline mean for the fire department? The exhibition “Water Is Life” answers these and other questions. Larger-than-life display panels and informational walls, along with video clips, take visitors on a journey through the fascinating 125-year history of the water supply.
Admission is free!
