This richly illustrated, collection guide in a convenient format will prove to be the ideal companion for a visit to the Domberg quarter of Bamberg, a UNESCO World Heritage city.
A precious jewel can be discovered there: The Staatsgalerie in der Neuen Residenz – which was already in existence before 1818, and is one of the oldest branches of the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen (Bavarian State Painting Collections) – has been showing masterpieces of European Baroque painting in a new presentation since 2013. More than 70 German, Dutch and Flemish paintings are on display, including distinguished permanent loans from Bamberg’s municipal museums. Works of art previously owned by the prince-bishops recall a noble passion for collecting.
