GERMANY ~ Cultural Historic Museum - Magdeburg ~

... Nice historic building view that houses two museums... the Cultural Historic Museum shares a building with the Museum of Natural History... the Cultural Historic Museum focuses on the history of Magdeburg... each of them present permanent exhibitions as well as numerous special exhibitions... with Maximilian Kolbe stamp and special postmark celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Maximilian Kolbe Association (a German charity organisation helping former prisoners of concentration camps and ghettos)...Thanks a lot Dustin! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Magdeburg used to be one of the most important medieval cities in Europe and stayed one of Germany’s most important cities until the early modern era.These days the city is a university city and houses many other scientific institutions.

From 1901 to 1906, the Cultural History Museum building was built in the Neo-Renaissance style. The Kulturhistorisches Museum Magdeburg  was originally founded in 1906 as an art-historical-oriented Kaiser-Friedrich Museum.
