Information was extensive and also in English. Big collection which stretches over all time periods. Lots of space to walk, stand and sit.

It’s a great museum! They had an exhibition especially targeted towards kids. I’m not sure, if it was temporary or permanent though. Beautiful building!

Great collection of both old (Renaissance, Baroque, etc.) and contemporary pieces in one house! Located in the heart of Münster, really easy to navigate around chronologically and the gift shop is worth a glance. Go for free on a second Friday of month!

Lots to see and English descriptions. We loved the Turner exhibition and the 18th century paintings in particular.

Fantastic museum and worth the entry price of €9. The front desk staff were welcoming and the female staff in the museum rooms were exceptionally helpful and approachable with one exception, an older man who was both rude and verbally aggressive but don’t let him stop you from going. The collections are well documented and translated into three languages, English been one of them.
It is a big museum but your entry ticket means you can come and go throughout the day. Backpacks are not allowed and can be put into lockers and cost €1 that you get back. The toilets are clean and there are seats in every room so when tired you can rest and take in the items on view in your own time. There are ramps and lifts and plenty of room to navigate if you are in a wheelchair however, not many of the works on view are at wheelchair eye view. Photographs are allowed as long as you don’t use a flash.
The gift shop is expensive which is a shame as I would have loved to buy small gifts to give to people at home and the postcards didn’t seem to reflect what was in the museum unless I missed a whole section.
In a nutshell - this is a must see museum with the added bonus that your ticket last for the whole day so you can come and go as you please.
