Kempten-Museum im Zumsteinhaus

This is one of, if not the, coolest museum I’ve visited. It’s not huge, but made with love. It has so many dynamic, interactive, up to date features and exhibits and the staff are incredibly friendly. Really brought joy to be there and made you genuinely interested and engaged with whatever it was you were learning. Super cool and highly recommend, especially since on top of everything it’s free!

This museum has free admission although you have to get a paper wrist tag from the Museum Shop to enter the museum. The people in the Shop spoke fluent English and were friendly. We put our backpacks in the locker room and visited the exhibits on the ground floor and were exiting. Then we were told that we can also visit the upper floors for free. Wow! The floors above had a lot of local exhibits starting from the Roman times. Afterall, Allgäu is considered one of Germany's oldest Roman settlements. There is this stunning 3D model of the city with interactive light show - all encapsulated in 7 minutes. The museum has audio-video guides in German as well as in English for many of the rooms. There were several ongoing exhibitions, which we learnt keeps changing. Alongwith the story of the Zumstein merchant brothers and their fabric business, most of the history inside this museum is local and at quite specific to the city itself. This is good from knowledge perspective. Overall, this living room of Kempten is definitely worth a visit.

Great museum about the history of the city. The building itself is beautiful. The museum has great exhibitions, with different topics and lots of media and interactive elements. Can’t believe a museum in this quality is for free! I love the inclusive design for kids and visually impaired people. Lots of things to tough and listen too. Lockers are available. Cute cafe and small shop. Elevator for all floors.
