The Lindenau Museum houses one of the most valuable special collections of early Italian panel paintings in the world. The paintings on wood from the 13th to 16th centuries show the development of Italian painting and are the basis for the museum's international standing. They are the work of the natural scientist, statesman and patron Bernhard August von Lindenau (1779–1854) and have been open to the public since 1848. The museum is currently being renovated.
