Museum Blue

Blau Museum, Hebelstr. 2, 68723 Schwetzingen

Not only is the colour blue rich in meanings and associations, it is also the municipal colour of Schwetzingen and adorns the coat of arms of the House of Wittelsbach, to whom the electors of the Electoral Palatinate belonged. Since July 2017 the Blue Museum (run by the society Blau e.V.) has become the first place of its kind to showcase the fascinating history of the colour in art and cultural life.

The private 'Museum for the Colour Blue' opened in 2017 and is the only one of its kind. A unique collection is presented in 15 rooms on two floors. A thousand exhibits have been lovingly staged and illustrate the fascinating cultural and natural history of this truly wonderful colour.
