Augsburg has been an important center of gold and silver craftmanship since the late Middle Ages, and many of the most beautiful masterpieces made here are now housed in the Maximilian Museum. These pieces are the biggest attractions in the museum, but it also offers a marvelous selection of other objects and artifacts, including religious sculptures, intricate clocks, and machine models. The building that houses the museum is also worth seeing in and of itself; it's a former family residence that was built in the 15th century, and it boasts a glass-domed courtyard and beautiful painted ceilings.
