Würzburg is in Bayern, in the south, the country's industrial powerhouse around Munich and Stuttgart with the Alps and the Black Forest on the doorstep; winters bring snow and the occasional warm Föhn wind, summers are the warmest in Germany, and living costs are the highest. Getting around Würzburg is easiest by U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tram and bus, all covered by the Deutschlandticket that is valid on local and regional transport across Bayern and beyond; parking in city centres is scarce and either paid or limited by Parkscheibe, so public transport or a bike is usually quicker than driving.

This is advertised as the biggest Riemenschneider collection anywhere. Maybe it is. But there's a lot of pieces labelled 'Umkriez' which translates literally as 'vicinity '. As explained to me by a member of staff, these are pieces in the style of Riemenschneider by local sculptors who had noticed how popular and lucrative Riemenschneider's work was. The difference in quality is all too obvious. There are a lot of pieces from his studio as well. I was disappointed, being a huge admirer of his work, which is notable for the expressiveness of the faces, amongst other things. Tbh, this was not worth a trip to Wurzburg. And the reception staff could have been more helpful. Despite my asking about what information was available in English, they failed to tell me about the mobile phone programme which gives English commentary about selected pices.

A very nice museum not too large. It’s worth a visit for two things. The wood sculpture collection by Riemenschneider and Hermitage of Saint Bruno, the life’s work of an unnamed Carthusian monk. There is something to Riemenschneider’s sculpture, the hands and subtle details in expression. Lighting and where you stand to view the sculpture is also important. On Sunday it’s 1 euro!

One of the most significant art collections in Bavaria is found at the Museum für Franken on the fort Marienberg in Würzburg. The museum is one of the internationally renowned German museums as a result of the important works by Franconian painters and artists working for Franconia that are on display. Paintings, sculptures, and handmade items from Würzburg and Mainfranken dating back to the early days to the 19th century are on display in the 45 showrooms. It's really nice to see such kind employees, they were very kind to my children in all the rooms as they shared facts and told stories. It enhanced the memory of our trip.
