Welcome to the Städel Museum

Städel Highlights
Discover the highlights of the Städel collection—from the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Baroque all the way up to classical modern and contemporary art—with the free audio guide app! Available as a free app for Android and Apple.

For security reasons, bags (larger than DIN A4) and jackets must be checked in the cloakroom. In order to avoid unintended contact with the works of art, no articles of clothing may be carried over your arm in the exhibition rooms.

The consumption of food and beverages is not permitted in the exhibition rooms. Beverages may not be taken into the exhibition halls.  All such items can be checked in the cloakroom.

The use of the cloakroom at the Städel Museum is free of charge. The cloakroom is located to the back right of the main foyer area. Jackets, bags (larger than DIN A4), knapsacks, umbrellas, and large articles that may not be taken into the exhibition must be checked in. Due to space restrictions, it is not possible to check suitcases or trolleys. A €1 coin is needed to use a locker.

We accept no liability for items checked in at the cloakroom or left in lockers.

Seating is available throughout the museum and in the special exhibition. Folding stools are only available for use in the permanent exhibition and are unfortunately not permitted in the special exhibition. Wheelchairs, walking frames, and canes can be hired from the cloakroom.

Our self-service café is located adjacent to the museum shop. In addition to coffee and tea specialties, we offer a seasonal selection of sandwiches, salads, cakes, and cookies.

Café im Liebieghaus

A special tip from those in the know: just a few steps away from the museum is the Café im Liebieghaus, where you can enjoy home-made cakes and other small delicacies.

Visit our museum shop and be inspired by selected stationery, accessories, jewellery and books to give as gifts. Browse through our exhibition catalogues and discover our wide range of art cards.

The adjoining self-service café, with a view of the Frankfurt skyline, serves coffee and tea specialties as well as a seasonal range of cakes, pastries, sandwiches, and salads.
