Since its founding in 1878, the Historisches Museum has focused on cultural objects and works of art which are of particular significance to the city of Frankfurt, with a particular emphasis on industrial and technological history and the development of the modern city. In the foyer, visitors are greeted by a model of how the old city looked before being destroyed in the Second World War. The permanent exhibition includes paintings, photographs, graphics and posters and provides a unique insight into the history of Frankfurt from the early settlement to the present day.
