From the Golden Horse Barracks to the cultural-historical museum of the 21st century

The baroque building of the "Golden Horse Barracks" and the modern glass and steel construction facing the inner courtyard, together with the Electoral Stables form the attractive ensemble of the fundamentally renovated and modernised Landesmuseum Mainz.
The cosmopolitan city of Mainz was regarded as the gateway to the Upper Rhine from its Roman beginnings. The city's wealth and international relations have had an effect on the numerous collections which today are numbered among the Landesmuseum's holdings.
The art and cultural historical collections extend from the beginnings of mankind to the present. Apart from archaeological findings, today's museum presents paintings, sculptures, furniture and porcelain from different epochs, objects concerning the history of the city of Mainz, Judaica, art nouveau glass and the Graphic Collection.
