Cathedral Museum Hildesheim

The reopening of Hildesheim Cathedral Museum in April 2015 marks the conclusion of a renovation project lasting several years. The complex of buildings is a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to one of the most outstanding collections of ecclesiastical art, which will now be on display in a completely refurbished environment. In contrast to many other museum collections, the history of the Cathedral Museum and its treasures spans a remarkable 1200 years. The collection already belonged to the cathedral in medieval times, it is therefore an integral part of the Hildesheim UNESCO World Heritage site, which includes St Mary‘s Cathedral as well as St Michael‘s Church.
