Pomeranian State Museum

The Pomeranian State Museum ( _de. Pommersches Landesmuseum) in Greifswald, Western Pomerania, is a public museum primarily dedicated to Pomeranian history and arts. The largest exhibitions show archeological findings and artefacts from the Pomerania region and paintings, e.g. of Caspar David Friedrich, who was a Greifswald local. The museum was established in the years of 1998 to 2005 at the site of the historical Franziskaner abbey.

Near Binz on the nearby isle of Rügen, an outpost of the museum is under construction at the Jagdschloss Granitz site, a former palace of the Rugian princes. This outpost will be designated to Rugian history.
