Tourist attraction Museum

👍👍 Very good guided tour of the Hessen Darmstadt Royal family history. I had a great guide - Matthias, who speaks fluent English and is very passionate about his subject matter. No photos are allowed inside and 5 Euro per person. A must visit in Darmstadt. People often mention Darmstadt, museum, interesting, tour, visit, sehr, hrung, Museum, Sehr, history,

    (Translated by Google) The Darmstadt Palace Museum is well worth seeing. It shows mostly original objects, paintings, files and written documents, as well as photos from the possession of the former landgraves, as well as grand dukes of Hessen - Darmstadt. The exhibition rooms are structured according to epochs and very vividly illustrate the princely living and living culture of the 17th - 20th centuries. The museum is located in the bell-church building of the former Residenz Schloss zu Darmstadt. Worth a visit. (Original) Das Schlossmuseum Darmstadt ist sehr Sehenswert. Zeigt es doch überwiegend originale Gegenstände, Gemälde, Akten und Schriftdokumente, sowie Fotos aus dem Besitz der einstigen Landgrafen, sowie Grossherzöge von Hessen - Darmstadt. Die Ausstellungsräume sind nach Epochen strukturiert und veranschaulichen sehr Bildhaft die fürstliche Wohn- und Lebenskultur des 17. - 20. Jahrhundert. Das Museum befindet sich im Glocken -Kirchenbau des einstigen Residenz Schlosses zu Darmstadt. Absolut einen Besuch wert.

    A beautiful museum and there was a very good, well-founded and entertaining tour. You can learn a lot about the castle, the Grand Dukes and Darmstadt's history.

    They have a lot of interesting things to see. Though the staff following us everywhere was very annoying and distracting, there is always an uncomfortable feeling of someone looking at you with constant suspicion.

    Locking the door when guiding a group is illegal. It's called deprivation of liberty!! The participants are not even informed that you are doing something like that!! You should inform the authorities and the fire department because there are no excellent escape routes, let alone available!!! Not even in the London Tower near the crown jewels is there a lock behind you!!!!

    (Translated by Google) Very nice museum, many paintings, price very cheap 4 € normal - 2.50 € with ID. I think it's a shame that you can only visit the museum with a guided tour - the guide was good and interesting - but you can even look at it with your own rhythm - a pity (but understandable) that you are not allowed to take pictures. Staff were very nice. If you like guides - Recommended! (Original) Sehr schönes Museum, viele Gemälde, Preis sehr günstig 4€ normal - 2,50€ mit Ausweis. Schade finde ich, das man nur mit Führung ins Museum darf - Führung war gut und interessant - aber selber schauen mit eigenem Rythmus finde ich noch besser - schade (aber verständlich) das man nicht fotografieren darf. Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett. Wer gerne Führungen mag - Empfehlenswert!

    (Translated by Google) 2 Euros for German citizens and 4 Euros for citizens of other countries. You cannot travel alone, you have to join the tour accompanied by a guide every half hour. (Original) Alman vatandaşına 2 Euro, diğer ülke vatandaşlarına 4 Euro. Yanlız gezemiyorsunuz, yarım saatte bir rehber eşliğindeki geziye katılmak durumundasınız.

    (Translated by Google) Professional leadership. I was only alone at a certain time and yet I didn't have to wait for other people. The rooms are very nicely decorated and the exhibition is very interesting. I learned a lot about Hesse's past Worth it! (Original) Professionelle Führung. Ich war nur allein um ein bestimmt Uhrzeit und dennoch musste ich nicht warten für andere Menschen. Die Zimmern sind sehr schön eingerichtet und die Austellung ist sehr interessant. Ich habe sehr viel gelernt über die Vergangenheit Hessens Es lohnt sich!

  • 2/5 sunnyboy732 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very interesting museum, with historic, meticulously furnished, lovingly reconstructed castle rooms with precious, authentic furniture. Unfortunately, the leadership has turned out to be God's nerve-wracking, lengthy affair. The lady who has taken the lead has lost herself in her obsessive historical delusion in a hundred thousand, boring details about landgraves, electors, hereditary princes, widows and co. For example, there is hardly a word about the really beautiful exhibition items with Empire dresses and furniture in the glass showcases. A real shame. In the end, although I talked to her, she did not even consider it necessary to go back when I said goodbye, although not many people were there. The old-youthful figure was probably too busy with himself and his fanatical history. What can I say? In this form of leadership, only recommended for diehard historians, professors, or students writing their diploma or doctoral thesis in history or people of unprecedented angelic patience and steadfastness. (Original) Sehr interessantes Museum, mit historischen, minutiös eingerichteten, liebevoll rekonstruierten Schlossräumen mit kostbarer, authentischer Möblierung. Die Führung hat sich leider Gottes als nervenzermürbende, langatmige Angelegenheit herausgestellt. Die Dame, die die Führung gemacht hat, hat sich in ihrem obsessiven Historienwahn in hunderttausend, todlangweiligen Details über Landgrafen, Kurfürsten, Erbprinzen, Witwen und Co verloren und z. B. über die wirklich schönen Austellungsgegenstände mit Empirekleidern und -möbeln in den Glasvitrinen kaum ein Wort verloren. Wirklich schade. Zum Schluss, obwohl ich mich auch noch mit ihr unterhalten habe, hat sie es nicht einmal für Notwendig erachtet zurückzugrüssen, als ich Auf Wiedersehen gesagt hat, obwohl wirklich nicht viele Leute dort waren. Die altjüngferlich wirkende Gestalt war wohl viel zu sehr mit sich selbst und ihrem fanatischen Historienwissen beschäftigt. Was soll man dazu sagen? In dieser Form der Führung wirklich nur zu empfehlen für eingefleischte Historiker, Professoren oder Studenten, die ihre Diplom- oder Doktorarbeit in Geschichte schreiben oder Leute mit beispielloser Engelsgeduld und Standhaftigkeit.

    unfriendly, arrogant "ladies" in historical clothing who spend 1.5 hours texting visitors with their pseudo-knowledge... it's better to sit in a cafe opposite and enjoy life in Darmstadt with coffee and cake 😄

    We really enjoyed our visit to this museum. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful, particularly the female member of staff who gave us the tour in english. There was a lot to see in the museum and was definitely worth the entrance fee. But you do have to go as part of a tour and this may not always be in english. A visit is recommended.

    (Translated by Google) Nice considering that it is being renovated it makes me very happy everything is a bit pulled away and such a beautiful place deserves to be treated as such ... Hope to come back when it's finished ..... Anyway I still recommend a nice ride ....... Then it is located almost in the center of the city so you don't even have to go very far .... ?????? (Original) Bello considerato che è in via di ristrutturazione mi rende molto contento è tutto un po' tirato via ed un luogo così bello merita di essere trattato come tale...... Spero di ritornare quando sara finito..... Cmq consiglio ugualmente un bel giretto....... Poi è situato quasi al centro della città per cui non bisogna nemmeno fare tanta strada....??????

    (Translated by Google) I love the castle museum but it annoys me animal that you always have to join in a coincidence I want to look at the things in peace and not 20 talking people around me have rum. One should consider opening it without a guide then I would also go back in. I was there at the age of 9 so 20 years ago, but I do not participate in a tour. (Original) Ich liebe das Schlossmuseum aber es nervt mich tierisch das man immer eine Fügung mitmachen muss ich will mir die Sachen in Ruhe ansehen und nicht 20 quatschende Leute um mich Rum haben. Man sollte sich überlegen es auch ohne Führung zu öffnen dann würde ich auch mal wieder rein gehen war zuletzt mit 9 Jahren dort also vor 20 Jahren aber eine Führung mache ich nicht mit .
