The Park City Museum preserves the rich mining and ski history of Park City in its newly renovated facility. The museum offers captivating pictorials and exhibits that showcase the city's fascinating past. It's a great place for families given its interactive displays and hands-on activities.

The Museum Embankment (Museumsufer) lines the south bank of the Main River with a string of museums covering everything from fine art and film to architecture, Jewish history and ancient sculpture. Highlights include the Städel Museum with its underground gallery, the German Film Museum, the Museum of Communication and the Jewish Museum. Each August, the embankment hosts the Museum Embankment Festival, one of Europe’s biggest cultural events, with late openings, live music and food stalls along the river.
