Historical Museum and Bamberg Idols

Museums and Exhibitions

Secular history of Bamberg is reflected in the exposition of the historical museum located in the Old Court. The oldest exhibits here are the so-called Bamberg idols. These are three sandstone slabs from 1 to 1.7 metres, with images of men in mantles engraved on them. Idols were found in the Regnitz river in the middle of the 19th century. Scientists have not come to a unified opinion as to their age. Some think images could have been created in the neolith era. However others are convinced that this is a sample of the early Christian art. There are also collections of coins of different eras, close combat weapons, furniture, clocks.
