| A collection of from the Liebfrauenkirche |
GERMANY - The Bischofliches Museum, or Bishop's Museum is housed in a 19th-century building near Trier Cathedral in Trier, Germany. Once a Prussian prison, the building now houses the art collection of the Diocese of Trier, including much early Christian art. Established in cooperation between the Cathedral and the Bishop's See, the Bishop's Museum mission is to collect, preserve, and research testaments to the art, culture, and history of the Christian faith of the Diocese and of the former Trier Archdiocese and to present these artifacts and ideas to the public. It also cultivates a dialog with contemporary art. The Museum represents a remarkable documentation of the existing continuity of the Trier Church from the 4th century to the present. [
