The Oberhessisches Museum, a universal museum, is situated in the central Hessian city of Gießen. It is housed in three distinct locations: the Old Castle Gießen, the Wallenfels'schen Haus, and the Leib'schen Haus. Each of these locations offers a unique perspective on the rich history and culture of the region.

Art Collection at the Oberhessisches Museum

The museum's painting gallery, housed in the castle, offers a wide range of artworks spanning from the Baroque period to the present. The collection primarily focuses on 19th-century paintings, featuring works by renowned artists such as Carl Geist, Franz von Stuck, Carl Spitzweg, and Heinrich von Zügel.

Exhibitions at the Leib'schen Haus

The Leib'schen Haus, a four-story half-timbered house built in 1350, is another location of the museum. It hosts exhibitions that delve into various aspects of history, including city history, folklore, bourgeois cultural history from the 18th to the early 20th century, and regional craft and industrial history.
