  • Such an immersive experience back through time, honoring not just the artist and the time period he represents, but which also examines how he has affected subsequent generations and art forms. Our children got a great crash course on the "first graphic artist," and we adults enjoyed learning details we hadn't known before, making this an ideal stop for beginners and art buffs alike. Entry fees are very reasonable--even students and backpackers can afford this--and the gift shop across the street offers easily transportable memories to take home. Kids get a little "voucher" to claim a "gift" at the end of the self led tour, a postcard at the gift shop. The audio tour is included in the entry cost and is easy to operate. Photos are allowed everywhere except the top floor where they have original Dürer prints on display. Small children will not enjoy this. Recommend 12 and up.
  • It has been a dream of mine to walk in the footsteps of my great idol and muse. Excellently set up and exhibited. Plenty of interesting information, in English. Thankyou thank you thank you.
