Germany: Schnütgen Museum

On 25th March I got two cards from Germany.

One of them shows an exterior detail of the Schnütgen Museum in Cologne. The Schnütgen Museum is a museum about Christian religious art with a focus on Medieval pieces. Since 1956 the museum is housed in the large Romanesque church of Saint Cäcilien, although additional building were constructed in the 1950s and even further ones were opened in 2010. The museum often shows big special exhibitions and considers itself to be one of the most important museums of medieval art in the World. 

The stamp honours the Lindau Messenger (issued 07-08-2014) and was cancelled with a Covid-19 postmark, but unfortunately the number is unreadable.

Thank You very much Marcel!
