There are quite a few big museums to see in Frankfurt and you might not get around to visiting the little icon museum. If you can squeeze it in, though, its well worth a look. It has displays of icon paintings from across the orthodox world Russia, Greece, Ethiopia etc with some really informative and well choreographed special displays.

Visit the house of Goethe if you're in Frankfurt. Its a really interesting look back in time to the mid 18th century when Goethe lived here (although everything you see is a reconstruction as the original house was destroyed during the war). Its incredible to stand in the place where Germany's foremost literary figure wrote his first novel and started writing Faust. There are some informative displays too.

When we visited Franklin, my children really enjoyed visiting the Senckenberg Natural History Museum. They have a very impressive collection of dinosaur fossils, as well as preserved examples of animals from all over the world. Personally, I really enjoyed the Egyptian area, as they had a good cross section of artifacts.

This is an extremely whimsical museum that displays satirical and comical art work from The New Frankfurt School, which is known as Germany's home for satirists. If you enjoy looking at art that has humorous twists, then make this museum a stop on your itinerary. This is not a stodgy museum. Come prepared to laugh out loud at the cartoons, statuary and displays that all revolve around the same themes. There is a lot of adult material here, so children under the age of 12 or 14 may not appreciate the work here. The museum has been in a new building since late last year. You will enjoy your visit and come away laughing. Which is a great way to end a tour!
