Museum of Municipal Collections in the Zeughaus

The Museum of Municipal Collections in the Zeughaus (german: Museum der städtischen Sammlungen im Zeughaus) is an interdisciplinary exhibition building in Wittenberg that presents objects from archaeology and urban history, as well as natural history and ethnology.

From 2015 to 2018, modern exhibition rooms with a combined area of more than 1500 square metres were created in several stages on three floors in the historic armoury.

[2] On 21 December 2018, the museum was opened with lectures by Reiner Haseloff,[3] Torsten Zugehör and Nils Seethaler.

[4][5] In March 2015, the ground floor was opened first: Eighteen "crown jewels" of the city are exhibited there on three hundred square metres, including three objects from the collection of Julius Riemer.

Exhibits on the city's history include, for example, a "giant rib" from the relic collection of Frederick the Wise and the Lord Mayor's chain of office.
