Liebieghaus
Located in a 19th-century villa in the Sachsenhausen district, this museum focuses exclusively on sculpture. It houses a collection of approximately 3,000 works that cover 5,000 years of art history, allowing visitors to trace the evolution of sculptural techniques and styles from antiquity to the modern era.

The museum is situated on the Museumsufer (Museum Embankment). From Frankfurt city centre, you can reach it via public transport or by walking across the river. The journey typically takes 15 to 20 minutes depending on your starting point and mode of transport.
