Our service for you

Below you will find further information on photo orders, loan requests, scientific inquiries, appraisals and donations.

Photo order

Please send requests to order digital image data of objects and for permission to reproduce them exclusively to saskiarupp@museum-franken.de.

It currently takes up to 4 weeks to process requests.

Loan requests

In principle, we are happy to provide loans for exhibition projects. As the Museum für Franken is facing particular restoration and logistical challenges in the course of the renovation of the Marienberg Fortress and the redesign of the museum, we are currently having to turn down most requests. We regret this very restrictive situation and ask for your understanding.

Donations

Since January 1, 2017, the Museum für Franken - Staatliches Museum für Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte in Würzburg, formerly the Mainfränkisches Museum, has been converted into a state museum. In future, it will cover the whole of Franconia, including the history of Würzburg, and the collection horizon will be extended to the present day through systematic new acquisitions, donations and bequests from private collections. The museum collection includes testimonies to the history of Franconia, which are to be preserved permanently and are also available for research and exhibition purposes.

You can send us offers by email. Please refer to the team page for the relevant contact details. Please do not send us any materials without prior consultation. Please refrain from making offers by telephone. If our response to your offer takes a little longer, we ask for your understanding. It may take a few weeks to check our depots and database. For donations of archaeological objects, please contact the Archäologische Staatssammlung in Munich(http://www.archaeologie-bayern.de/).
