Museum sights in Aachen

  1. A

    Cathedral Treasury

    The cathedral treasury is a veritable mother lode of gold, silver and jewels. Focus your attention on the Lotharkreuz, a 10th-century processional cross, and the marble sarcophagus that held Charlemagne's bones until his canonisation; the relief shows the rape of Persephone.

  2. B

    Suermondt Ludwig Museum

    The Suermondt Ludwig Museum is especially proud of its medieval sculpture but also has fine works by Cranach, Dürer, Macke, Dix and other masters.
