Extremely worth it! Wonderful house and very well detailed museum. Purchase one ticket for both places.
-
Very nice museum and original historic house, many tidy rooms and original elegant fornitures. The garden is wide and quiet even if it is the center of Weimar. (here you should know a little Deutsch) Credit cards accepted
-
I love Goethe so I can say that is really amazing. The firts thing to see is the house then you must see the museum with a big exhibition of the writer's life, his opera and some of his nature collection. He was one of the biggest genius in the world!
-
A really great insight into the life of Goethe. His home is kept as close as possible to the way it was when he died and a very thorough (free) audio guide helps putting it all into perspective.
-
Great exhibition and audio guides! Very well kept museum and nice personnel. Quite informative on Goethe's life.
