Neue Burg Museums

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:07:24

The Neue Burg is home to the three Neue Burg Museums. The Sammlung Alter Musik Instrumente (Collection of Ancient Musical Instruments) contains instruments in all shapes, sizes and tones. The Ephesos Museum features artefacts from Ephesus and Samothrace donated (some say ‘lifted’) by the sultan in 1900 after a team of Austrian archaeologists excavated Ephesus in Turkey. Last but not least is the Hofjägd und Rüstkammer (Arms and Armour) museum, with a fine collection of ancient armour dating mainly from the 15th and 16th centuries. Admission includes both the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Neue Burg museums. An audio guide costs €4.
