Erstes Bayerisches Schulmuseum Sulzbach-Rosenberg e. V.

Situated at Amberg's most idyllic square, the historic "Klösterl" ("little convent") - a building which dates back to the 14th century and is aptly titled "Engelsburg" ("angel's castle") - offers a unique showroom space on three levels (around 700 square meters) all dedicated to the subject of air ... Apart from permanent exhibitions you can also enjoy talks, readings, guided tours and concerts. On the ground floor there are temporary exhibitions on design, architecture, technology as well as special and everyday and contemporary art. The AIR MUSEUM was founded as a private initiative at the beginning of 2006 and is financed by donations and air helpers. Guided tours during or after our opening hours are offered. Bookings required 14 days in advance via online booking. +++ 2021 voted for "BEST MUSEUM IN THE UPPER PALATINATE" +++ Thank you!

Experience the history of the city of Amberg. Learn for example more about the Amberg Wedding („Amberger Hochzeit“) 1474, or how the Winter King („Winterkönig“) got his name. You can go shopping at an old-fashioned corner shop, visit a bakery, a pharmacy or a dentist. Another exhibition highlights the long tradition of Beer in Amberg. After that it’s „spot on“ for a historic fashion show. The tour continues to local crafts shops, like a hairdresser, a shoemaker and a goldsmith. At the attic floor of the „Baustadel“ earthenware, enamel and faience mainly manufactured in Amberg are on display. An unique experience is offered by the exhibition „A Tribute to Michael Mathias Prechtl“, which introduces the famous son of the city and internationally known artist and his works. The well-known boardgame Mensch-ärgere-dich-nicht was invented by a man born in Amberg – an entire section highlights the game’s history and invites visitors to try out the game on their own.
