The Historical Museum of the Palatinate regularly puts on large special exhibitions geared towards people interested in cultural history or families. It also has a cultural and historical collection touching on the history of the region.

Special and collection exhibitions of the highest quality!

We are currently showcasing the special exhibition “Superheroes”. More info at: Exhibitions | Historical Museum of the Palatinate Speyer

Under the title “Cross and Crown” visitors can look forward to impressive exhibits from 1000 years of church history. The collection has moved from the museum's new building, where it was on display until August 2021, to the historic old building. The floor plan of the new exhibition space resembles a multi-aisled church building with a transept and cloverleaf-like choir. Therefore, the old building is ideally suited for the presentation of sacred artworks. 
More info at: Cross and Crown | Historical Museum of the Palatinate Speyer

With the Pfalzcard, you receive free admission to the exhibition "Cross and Crown." Special exhibitions are not included in the Pfalzcard.

Please note: Currently, the collection exhibitions “Prehistory,” “Roman Period,” and “Modern Era” must remain closed due to extensive renovation work. The same applies to the wine museum and the exhibition "Luther, the Protestants, and the Palatinate."
