On my last weekend in Freiburg, I visited the Augustinermuseum and the Freiburg Museum für Stadtgeschichte. Overall, they weren't the most exciting museums I've ever seen, but there were parts that were interesting.
The Augustiner Museum houses many of the statues that had fallen or been removed from the Freiburger Münster. It was fascinating to see the statues and gargoyles up close; normally they're perched far above on the Münster, but at the museum one could make out many details. There is also a massive altarpiece of wood. The set-up of the museum was perfect to best view all the statues and the altarpiece. Each level had little windows, through which one could look and see a different view of a statue or gargoyle. There was also a viewing platform for the altarpiece from above, as well as a view of the Münster in the distance.
My favorite part of the Freiburg Museum für Stadtgeschichte was the room that was dedicated to the building of the Münster. There were both large and small replicas of the Münster that showed the slow building process over the years. As you can see above, it started off as a very humble church and gradually evolved to a massive cathedral. I also went down to the foundation of the Freiburger Münsterplatz: I was underneath the church square. There was also a display of coins that I found interesting. There were not only coins from Freiburg, but also Colmar, Breisach and Basel.
