Lonely Planet review

The rich and far-reaching collection of the Landesmuseum Mainz, housed in the former prince-elector's stables, traces the region's cultural history from the Stone Age to the present. Treasures include the famous Jupitersäule, a Roman triumphal column from the 1st century.

The richly festooned façade of the Kaufhaus am Brand, a 14th-century trading house, is scheduled to go back on display in 2007 (renovations are scheduled to continue through 2009). Also of interest: Dutch and Flemish paintings, faïence and Art Nouveau glass.
