Deutsches Maler- und Lackierermuseum

This museum in Hamburg's Billwerder district follows the painters' and decorators' trade from the late Middle Ages to the present. You will see historic tools and paint mills, sample boards showing techniques such as stencilling and marbling, guild signs, banners, journeyman and master certificates, and work clothing. It occupies the Glockenhaus, a listed 17th-century timber-framed house with a baroque and herb garden.
