Due to its location at the entrance to the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Romantic Rhine Valley", the Historical Museum on the River is the perfect place to bring 2000 years of culture and history to life. The museum features four permanent departments: The large exhibition on Hildegard of Bingen can be seen in the former machine hall with its spacious gallery. In an exciting staging and contemporary-timeless design, visitors can expect diverse encounters with one of the most significant female figures in world and church history. The life of the prophetess and politician, composer, church teacher, and naturalist is told for the first time consistently based on historical research findings - while simultaneously presenting the exciting diversity of different perspectives on the saint.
The unique Binger medical instruments are a highlight of the exhibition.
The Rhine Romanticism department brings to life the Rhine enthusiasm of the 19th century in historical salons and gallery rooms.
