Regionaler Naturpark Schaffhausen - The Museum zu Allerheiligen is one of the most diverse museums in Switzerland and combines archaeology, history, art and nature under one roof in the middle of the picturesque old town of Schaffhausen.
In the middle of the picturesque old town of Schaffhausen - housed in the grounds of the former Benedictine monastery of Allerheiligen - the museum presents not only testimonies from the monastery's past but also an important art collection with works from the 15th century to contemporary art. Among others, works by Cranach, Hodler, Vallotton, Otto Dix and Adolf Dietrich are on display. With the Ebnöther Collection, the museum also owns one of the most important collections of antiquities in Europe. New media and interactive presentations provide modern access to the archaeology of the region as well as to Schaffhausen's urban and industrial history.
The museum café - in the idyllic Pfalzhof courtyard in summer - invites visitors to linger and relax. The monastery complex also includes the largest Romanesque church in Switzerland, a wonderful cloister and the picturesque herb garden, one of the most beautiful public gardens in the city.
With its extensive permanent exhibitions and regular temporary exhibitions, the house illuminates a wide variety of topics in an attractive and comprehensible way. Interdisciplinary special exhibitions encourage visitors to engage with current cultural and scientific issues. Like the monastery that used to be located here, the museum is a place of knowledge, culture and encounter. The name "Museum zu Allerheiligen" refers to the universality of the medieval monastery.
For more than 20 years, hundreds to thousands of religious refugees arrived in Schaffhausen, where they were fed, treated and sent on with their travel money. On our search for traces in Schaffhausen, we follow their history.
