Incredible collection; some language difficulties upon entry
Two people were present at the front desk when we entered; neither spoke any English. I offer that not as a complaint — we were in Germany, after all — but you should be aware we encountered some difficulty in explaining we wanted tickets for just the regular museum displays and not the special exhibit there. But once we got past that, the collection itself lived up to its billing, and it is incredible, spanning not just centuries but millennia. Almost all information on the displays is in English, so there is no language barrier there. As for the displays, everything is laid out in a logical and easy-to-follow form. There are few museums like this anywhere else, and this one is well worth a visit.

Nice collection of jewelry.
This museum houses a fantastic and diverse collection of jewellery from more than 2000 years ago to the present. An excellent destination in a city like Pforzheim, where unfortunately the city centre itself can hardly be counted as a tourist highlight.... We found the Egyptian jewellery incredibly interesting, and were also charmed by the explanations about Art Nouveau and Jugendstil.
