    This museum’s exhibits look great from the website and windows, but they will not let you inside unless you pay with the obsolete and viral laden paper bills. Totally unprofessional that a modern institution would not accept credit cards, they clearly do not care about the health of their workers or the experience of foreign guests.

    A truly outstanding collection of Medieval art, comparable to the holdings of the Metropolitan Museum. If you have any interest in Medieval art, this museum is not to be missed.

    Sehr schönes Museum. Übersichtlich. Tolle verschiedene Räumlichkeiten. Freundliches Personal. Günstiges parken im Parkhaus nebenan möglich. Zentrale Lage im Zentrum von Köln. Ausstellung " Von Frauenhand" Sammlung mittelalterlicher Handschriften sehr interessant und anschaulich in der Kirche sehr passend und ansprechend dargestellt. 6€ für die Eintrittskarten passt. Toiletten, Garderobe sauber und großzügig. Insgesamt ein sehr angenehmes Ambiente.

  • 5/5 Rüdiger M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A great museum about the art of the Middle Ages housed in an old church. If the art of this time also the faith / the church as the only emphasis it is nevertheless simply fascinating with which handicraft skill the exhibits are manufactured. Whether church windows, sculptures, religious artefacts, etc.pp., the love of detail in a time where everything was made by hand without technical aids is really very fascinating. (Original) Ein tolles Museum über die Kunst des Mittelalters untergebracht in einer alten Kirche. Hat die Kunst dieser Zeit auch den Glauben/die Kirche als einzigen Schwerpunkt ist es dennoch einfach faszinierend mit welch handwerklichem Geschick die Ausstellungsstücke gefertigt sind. Ob Kirchenfenster, Skulpturen, religiöse Artefakte, etc.pp., die liebe zum Detail in einer Zeit wo alles noch ohne technische Hilfsmittel von Hand angefertigt wurde ist wirklich sehr faszinierend.

    Not really worth a visit. There’s not more to see than you would expect to see in many other cathedrals, except perhaps that you get to see some people things close up, with some explanations.

  • 5/5 greme-de p. g. 4 months ago on Google • 249 reviews
    Besonders schön abends und bei der Museumsnacht! Das Museum gilt als eine der schönsten und reichsten Mittelaltersammlungen in Europa. Ein großer Teil der Ausstellung ist in der romanischen Basilika St. Cäcilien untergebracht. Zugang über das tolle Foyer des Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museums.

    Amazing collection of medieval art: mostly stained glass and sculpture. Expect to spend 1-2 hours here.

  • 4/5 Heike F. 11 months ago on Google • 96 reviews
    Das Schnütgen Museum befindet sich in einem gewandelten Kirchenbau und beherbergt mittelalterliche Kunst. Wunderschöne Stücke sind hier zusammengetragen worden. Leider ist das Museum nur bedingt Barrierefrei und zu meinem Besuch war einiges an Ausstattung defekt, wie z.B. die Behindertentoilette. Der Eintritt ist moderat mit 6€ und wenn man noch 4€ drauflegt kann man auch noch in Jautenstrauch Joost Museum gehen.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice little museum. The exhibition of medieval sacred art is appropriately displayed in a church building. I was pleasantly surprised at the exhibition that it is much more than just icons. I was very happy about it. The museum really shows churches art throughout history and diversity in the Middle Ages. Very nice. I really enjoyed the visit. (Original) Sehr schönes kleines Museum. Angemessen in einem Kirchen Gebäude ist die Ausstellung der Mittelalter Sakrale Kunst Ausgestellt. Erfreut überrascht war ich über die Ausstellung das es weit mehr als nur Ikonen sind. Ich habe mich darüber sehr gefreut. In dem Museum wird wirklich Kirchen Kunst in der ganzen Geschichte und Vielfalt im Mittelalter gezeigt. Sehr schön. Mir hat der Besuch sehr gut gefallen.

  • 5/5 Lexar t. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Basically a very relaxing place, except for a sporadically screaming toddler who snatches you away from the moment. But of course the place can do nothing because it is a city museum, so that it cannot issue a ban on children on its own initiative. (The city of Cologne gets a star deduction). The security guards are all very nice and advise you when taking a photo not to use my backpack to outline the millennial Japanese scrolls. There is also a parking disc for a small deposit so that the private parking monitoring company does not give you a 30 € ticket. (Really good!) All in all worth a visit. (Original) Grundsätzlich ein sehr erholsamer Ort, ausgenommen von einem sporadisch rumschreiendem Kleinkind, welches einen aus dem Moment entreißt. Dafür kann aber selbstverständlich der Ort nix, da es ein städtisches Museum ist, sodass es von sich aus kein Verbot für Kinder erteilen kann. (Dafür kriegt die Stadt Köln einen Stern Abzug). Die Sicherheitsleute sind alle sehr nett und weisen einen beim Fotografieren darauf hin, nicht mit meinem Rucksack die jahrtausendalten japanischen Schriftrollen umzureißen. Eine Parkscheibe gibt's des Weiteren gegen ein kleines Pfandgeld, sodass die private Parkraumüberwachungsfirma einem kein 30€ Knöllchen verteilt. (Richtig gut!) Alles in Allem einen Besuch wert.

    Ich war im Museum für Kultur der Welt und war beeindruckt von den interessanten Ausstellungen dort. Alles ist sehr schön und sehr gut organisiert. Es ist wirklich angenehm. Ich bin sogar mit meiner Mutter gegangen, die nur Spanisch spricht, und sie haben uns einen vollständigen Führer in dieser Sprache gegeben, damit sie sich selbst finden konnte. Wo jede Ausstellung im Reiseführer beschrieben wurde.

    Very nice collection, very nice staff. I was lucky to come across a security lady that knew the presented collection so well we got some private tour from her from the area she was supervising. As its Xmas Market season the museum was quiet. The expo Unter der Lupe, was very intetesting and well presented. Absolutely a good option in town!

    A wonderful collection of medieval statues, carvings, relics, windows etc. Beautifully displayed in the old church of St Cecila. An ethereal atmosphere, much to appreciate. Some steps may be tricky for those with mobility difficulties but still plenty to see on the main level.

    Wollten eigentlich ins Rautenstrauch - Joest - Museum, hatten aber leider Pech weil am Samstag, den 14.01.2023 das Museum wegen technischer Probleme geschlossen war. Deshalb besuchten wir die Sonderausstellung und Dauerausstellung im Museum Schnütgen. Vielleicht gefällt es anderen wesentlich besser als es uns gefallen hat. Die Sonderausstellung "Magie Bergkristall", findet von 25. November 2022 bis zum 19. März 2023 statt. Das Museum Schnütgen widmet sich in dieser Ausstellung dem transparenten Bergkristall. Diese Ausstellung bietet rund 130 Objekten aus internationalen Sammlungen. Die Bergkristallobjekte stammen anscheinend überwiegend aus der eigenen Sammlung und eines einzigartigen Fundes einer Bergkristallschleiferei aus dem 12. Jahrhundert. Die Ausstellung war insgesamt recht interessant aber für uns zu sehr im Kontext des christlichen Glaubens gehalten. Die "Magie Bergkristall" war somit Recht einseitig in Szene gesetzt.

    There are TWO Museums under one roof. One - on your left - Situated in a quite unusual place : 12th century Church with expanded collection of Medieval Art. Wooden carving, paintings, marble, ivories, stained glass, textiles, metalwork - you find it all greatly displayed. The Other - on your right- Artifacts from different places of the World. Never seen before such a great collection so beautifully arranged and displayed. I wish i had more time to read all comments. Worth visiting. Highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Susannah W. 6 years ago on Google
    Superb collection but disappointed in officious staff who follow one around, seem to think elderly single women will vandalise objects on display. Also v uncomfortable not to be allowed to take handbags in. Stupid policy as more likely to knock something by accident if hands are full than if we can put objects in a small bag.

    (Translated by Google) Extraordinary museum partly housed in the Cäcilienkirche, the church of Santa Cecilia, a treasure trove of works dating back to the Middle Ages, from the Carolingian period to the sixteenth century. It allows you to enjoy very different works from each other: it ranges from stained glass windows to books, from diptych to ivory comb, from statues of saints, apostles, Madonnas, to crucifixions, from fabrics to liturgical furnishings. A magical place (Original) Museo straordinario custodito in parte all'interno della Cäcilienkirche, la chiesa di Santa Cecilia, scrigno di opere risalenti al medioevo, dall'epoca carolingia al Cinquecento. Permette di godere di opere diversissime tra loro: si spazia dalle vetrate ai libri, dal dittico al pettine in avorio, dalle statue di santi, apostoli, Madonne, alle crocefissioni, dai tessuti agli arredi liturgici. Un luogo magico

    (Translated by Google) Quite an interesting museum with a more modern museum concept. Anyone interested in medieval art and history will get their money's worth. The combined ticket with the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum is recommended. The fact that one museum is not that big now means that both museums can be visited together in one day. Maybe like to work with more modern museum concepts. But I think there is a will to improve. I can not say anything about special exhibitions, because so far not noticed. Friendly employees. (Original) Ein recht interessantes Museum mit modernerem musealem Konzept. Wer sich für mittelalterliche Kunst und Geschichte interessiert, kommt auf seine Kosten. Empfehlenswert ist das Kombiticket mit dem Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum. Dadurch, dass das eine Museum jetzt nicht so groß ist, lassen sich beide Museen an einem Tag gut zusammen besuchen. Vielleicht gerne mit mehr moderneren Museumskonzepten arbeiten. Ich denke aber, der Wille für Verbesserungen ist vorhanden. Zu Sonderausstellungen kann ich nichts sagen, da bisher nicht wahrgenommen. Freundliche Mitarbeitende.

    (Translated by Google) the museum itself is very interesting and worth a visit. however, i have never (and i have been to some museums) been so disrespectfully plummed as here by one of the supervisors. as icing on the cake I then poisoned myself further, I probably had "no upbringing"! (I had dared to accidentally touch a (large, wooden) exhibit. I don't dare to come in here a second time. (Original) das museum an sich ist sehr interessant und einen besuch wert. allerdings bin ich noch nie ( und ich war in einigen museen ) so dermaßen respektlos blöd angepflaumt worden wie hier von einer der aufsichtspersonen. als sahnehäubchen giftete sich mich dann noch weiter an, ich hätte wohl "keine erziehung"!

    The East Asian Heritage Museum is a beautiful small building that will take you to Eastern Asia, located just next to Hiroshima-Nagasaki Park, I recommend hopping off at the University Banhof, which is directly next to the museum, now you can choose between walking around the giant pond and the arounds first or visiting the museum. For a good visit, allow a couple of hours, as the building, even if it seems small, contains a lot of treasures.

  • 5/5 Maciej C. 4 years ago on Google
    A wonderful place exhibing East Asian pieces. It is quite well organised and welcoming on the interior, with a charming cafe in the foyer, also giving a window on the picturesque garden. The museum has a stable collection open to visits for all the time, aswell as a temporary section changing yearly. The one for this year is called "drunk on sobriety" and it showcases the role of drinks such as alcohol and tea in the works of the artists. Each one of the pieces is amazingly beautiful and telling a story. The place is open from 11 o'clock and there's a special event at noon, with the showcase of ceremonial bell music, which I found extremely enjoyable, while contemplating the garden. The halls inside are quite charming, with plenty of seats and books to read, regarding the topics. My visit there has been fulfilling, and I recommend it to everyone with a passion for East Asia, or an aesthetic taste for the art.

    gorgeous and delicate selection that shows in facts and aesthetics the long running curatorial wffort of the institution. It was a pleasure to hear bells from 3000 years ago chinese culture. Granted thar I will go to the next expos. The restaurant is not bad and the looks to hiroshima park and the inner pond are also cool, sadly the menu has almost no Asian Food but that is ok since it is a museum of the city of Cologne and not a theme park. Anyways some fermented foods like Natou or Kimchi would be a great add on to breakfasts. Super nice place, 5 stars overall.

    (Translated by Google) A very well designed museum, which gives a good insight into East Asian culture. We have already visited many top-class exhibitions here, and the exhibits are particularly well presented. The Asian garden inside the bungalow complex is also worth seeing and conveys, at least to me, Asian calm and serenity. A nice place to take a quiet break. (Original) Ein sehr gut konzipiertes Museum, welches einen guten Einblick in ostasiatische Kultur vermittelt. Hier haben wir schon viele hochkarätige Auststellungen besucht, die Exponate werden besonders gut präsentiert.

    Very nice museum, good collection of artifacts and installation. Entrance is thru a commercial building. Can`t give five stars due to the rude receptionist.

    Relatively small collection of medieval religious art but still there are some very impressive pieces. In particular the carved oak pieces are lovely and the memento mori fascinating. I was in here for not very long. A discount is provided with the CologneCard but I still think it’s somewhat pricey.
