菲森博物馆是修道院改建的。修道院的装饰非常华丽。主要展示的是乐器相关的东西。是乐器爱好者值得一去的地方。尤其是关于小提琴的东西

This museum has a little of everything. It is housed in the old monastery, so the old rooms (particularly the library) are incorporated into the museum. This is a hidden gem.

The history of this region goes back thousands of years, and here you learn of this, as well as the history of the economics that developed this area. Very well signed museum.Enjoy!

In the area and in need of a toilet we decided to take a look round.It was a wonderful find and we spent some time there looking round the old building with its wonderful history also the musical instrument making. We were glad our call of nature had led us here!!!

This city museum has an amazing variety of things, and it's hard to imagine anyone getting bored. "Dance with Death" scrolls are very interesting though all in German. Old violin and lute collection better than anything like that I have seen the library alone is worth the visit. I found on display what looked like a book of actual pages from the local daily paper, and I found the page that was printed exactly 101 years earlier, to the day. All in German, so that is a challenge. All in all, this place is a gem of authenticity. Not to be missed, especially on a Sunday when most of the rest of the town is closed.

My family has a connection to the benadectine community in new norcia in australia so it was very interesting for me to learn the history of this ancient order of monks who once dwelt in this fine old building. The museum now housed in the old monestary presents well with new cabinets and signs, and shows a good cross section of the history of fussen, such as the rope and string factory, the stringed instruments it is famous for, and even some neuschwanstein history. The descriptions in the english guide book I was given explained everything very well. I found it fascinating reading about the daily lives of the monks...no wonder they got fat! They ate a lot, and sat and studied all day. I found this museum very interesting and the building fascinating.

The museum is tucked away at the lower end of the town by the river.Indide there are various digings from when it was a monastry.In the various rooms there are paintings etc,etc.What was most interesting for me was the musical section showing various old and interesting stringed instruments lutes,madolins,guitars and violins.There is a section showing how these instruments are made the craftmanship is fantastic.Although we did not have time to see it all we found it well worth the visit.The staff are very helpfull and speak english

Exhibits history of Fussen town from early Roman era, through Medieval and Rennaissance period. Of particular interest are archaeological finds from Roman through Medieval period as well as musical instruments. Fussen has a long history of lute and other string instrument production including up to the present day. We were fascinated by the construction methods clearly shown in the exhibits. The interactive screens in each room allow visitors to hear the various instruments being played. There are lovely Baroque/Rococo interiors with great views of the river. We could have spent more time here and left with regret.

This quirky museum, just a few minutes from the interesting castle, contains some quite fascinating rooms : an extraordinary exhibition of lutes, the famous Dance of Death mural, and some truly beautifully decorated rooms.

Central, got in free with the Konigscard, fascinating display of musical instruments that kept us both enthralled.

This is a very nice old town situated near the river Lech. The High Castle in Fussen was given its present form at the end of the 15th century. Emperor Maximilian I stayed here fourteen times.Close to the border of Austria and lots of magnificent places to visit too.

This is a small city museum. By using the quest's card, we paid only 4 Euros for entrance. The part we enjoyed most is the exhibition of the ancient instruments and some of the video showing the making of one of the instruments. All the signs are in German. Since this is only a city museum, I believe they target the local people somehow, and do not bother to explain all things in English. If you are interested in musical instruments, it is worthwhile paying a visit; otherwise, it is a waste of money and time.

Very quiet when we were there, plenty to see. Layout a bit confusing. Old musical instruments and making them exhibit very good. Most of the signs in one language only so not easy to follow the history but were given an English booklet but the layout of the rooms made it hard to follow. Using the discount voucher from the hotel saved a euro or 2, but not expensive anyway. Worth a visit

This little city museum has some impressive history. I really enjoyed the library area. It was helpful that they provided an english booklet to help for those who don't read german.

This museum was a surprise and full of history of Fussen and its surrounds dating back to Roman times. The 'dance of death' painting, the monks library and performance hall were our highlights, but there was much more and well worth the time to see....and you could take photos.
