Located on the southern banks of the river Main in Frankfurt, The Museum District is the favorite spot in the city for the art and culture appreciators. The idea of multiple museums rising on the same site was born in 1977 by Hilmar Hoffmann, and between 1980 and 1990 many old museums were expanded and new ones built. Today, it is a place where you can explore everything from history to applied arts and film. The center of the district is the Städel Museum that exhibits one of the most important collections in the country. It is also Germany’s oldest museum foundation, and showcases the comprehensive history of European art from the medieval times to modern day, and counts more than 3000 paintings, 660 sculptures, 5000 photographs and 100,000 drawings and prints. 

Here you can also find the German Film Institute And Museum, that’s a must stop for all cinephiles who want to learn more about the history and development of the film industry since its beginnings in Europe. Icon Museum is an interesting site if you appreciate traditional East European art, while the Museum Of Applied Arts delivers an interesting overview of furniture and interior design from the 10th century to modern times. Finally, The Museum District is also packed with restaurants and unique bars, including the contrasting Hooters, alternative Elfer Music Club and popular Ponyhof nightclub.
