The Obermain Landscape Museum is one of four museums set up in the Kulmbacher Plassenburg . The museum's collection goes back in part to the Luitpold Museum founded in 1910.
In the west wing of the Plassenburg, the museum shows art and cultural-historical exhibits from the Obermaing area. Using a copy of the Ebstorf world map , visitors can decipher the world view of the High Middle Ages on a computer. Other departments deal with the Reformation , the destruction of Kulmbach in 1553 in the Federal State War and the subsequent reconstruction. In addition to the history of the Upper Mainland , the museum presents the excavations in the field of prehistory and early history under the motto “From collectors and scholars”, the personality Max Hundt (1898–1966) and geological research by Johann Peter Apollonius Weltrich as well as in the fauna department and Flora the world traveler and insect collector Johannes Kaulfuss . Under the title “Witches, Werewolves and Undead”, another section deals with the superstitions of past centuries and their forms.
