Exhibitions

The Pewter Figure Museum has now existed in Goslar for over 35 years and it is hard to imagine the cultural life of the town without it. In the historic Lohmühle in Goslar you will find the most beautiful Tin figure museum in Germany. Here you will meet a wide variety of tin figures and they will all tell you their story. Discover the history and development of the three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Harz Mountains in 50 dioramas, some of which are interactive.

World Heritage Site "Old Town in Goslar"

The history and development of the town of Goslar was strongly influenced by mining and this is still evident in many places in the town. Marvel at the town's history in the smallest format and experience the development of the imperial town in tin.

World Heritage Site: Rammelsberg Mining
