Be inspired by exciting topics such as the town's origins and development, Geithain as a garrison town, the shooting tradition and the history of the local pharmacy system. Find out more about the handicrafts in old Geithain and discover the famous Geithain enamel.

Special exhibitions and interactive stations: Our changing special exhibitions always offer new insights into a wide range of subject areas. We particularly value stations where you can marvel, experience and participate, which will make your visit to the museum unforgettable.
