Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen
The rem-headquarters is the early classicist armoury with its 6,000 square meters of floor space. Visitors can explore art and historical-cultural collections, historical theatre collections, find out about the history of the city and surrounding landscape of Mannheim and discover a collection of antiques as well as the new forum “International Photography”, which was founded in 2001.
An exciting contrast to the historical armoury is provided by the “Museum Weltkulturen” (Museum of World Cultures), located in a modern, light, cube-shaped building, which comprises the archaeological collections and special exhibitions at fixed intervals. The exhibition “MenschenZeit – Geschichten vom Aufbruch der frühen Menschen” (Human times – stories from the beginnings of humankind) explains the first archaeological period, the Stone Age. It invites visitors to explore the life and surroundings of humans in ancient times.

The Museum Bassermannhaus hosts permanent and special exhibitions about music, art and world cultures. ZEPHYR – Room for Photography is located on the first floor of the museum.
