Weltkulturen Museum
The Weltkulturen Museum is a museum of the city of Frankfurt am Main, which is spread over three historic villas. In the villa at Schaumainkai 29 you will find the current exhibition of the Weltkulturen Museum, which changes regularly. In the villa at Schaumainkai 35 you will find the Weltkulturen Library and at the building at Schaumainkai 37 the Weltkulturen Labor (currently closed).
Incidentally, the house numbers 31 and 33, which are missing today, existed on Schaumainkai until around the 1980s. However, due to the redistribution of properties and the increasingly dense settlement of the southern bank of the Main in the early 20th century, the house numbers changed regularly until 1945, so that today there are only house numbers 29, 35 and 37 in this section.
