The Museumsufer is located alongside the river Main next to Sachsenhausen. Thirteen museums are situated here between the bridges Eiserner Steg and Friedensbrücke in beautiful baroque buildings. To mention all of them would be too much here, but just to give you an impression of the wide range of museums you can find here:

there is the German film museum, the museum of Architecture, the Staedelmuseum (traditional art) and, very fitting for the multicultural Frankfurt, the museum of world cultures. Another important museum of Frankfurt is located on the opposite side of the river near Konstablerwache, the Jüdisches museum where you can learn something about the life of Jews in Frankfurt during the Nazi regime.

On the last weekend in August, a festival along the museumsufer (the Museumsuferfest) is attracting many people interested in the special offers of the museums or just interested in the amazing mix of life music, food, drinks and atmosphere you can find there once a year.

The Nacht der Museen (night of museums) is another festival in spring that allurs people to the museums: they are open all night for free, some of them offer special exhibitions, too.
