Pomeranian State Museum
The Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald shows exhibits on geological history, pieces from 14,000 years of Pomeranian regional studies as well as paintings, including by Caspar David Friedrich , and many other historical cultural assets. The sponsor is the Pomeranian State Museum Foundation, founded in 1996.
History of origin
The museum was built from 1998 to June 2005. The construction costs amounted to 20 million euros. It consists of an ensemble of four buildings: the classical Quistorp building (former city school), the gray monastery (former poor and old people's home), the brick building of the library of the Gothic Franciscan monastery and the Museum Street . The ensemble also includes a monastery garden and a meadow with Scandinavian boulders .
In the Croy Hall you can see the four by seven meter large, unique Croÿ carpet , an artistic testimony to the Reformation. The development of Greifswald University is also documented on the basis of numerous exhibits.
