Near Aachen town hall near Kremerstrasse, located couven Museum. The building, which houses the Museum was built in the second half of the 18th century by renowned local architect Jacob Kuwena as a mansion for the inhabitant of the same city – a wealthy druggist of Andreas Monheim.

Now this building is a Museum dedicated to the history of the development of the bourgeois culture of the 18th-19th centuries. If you go through the 20 halls of the Museum, you can feel like a real German burgher, to plunge into the life of the era, to get the pleasure of looking at furniture, dishes, kitchen utensils and interiors of the time. For example, one of the main features of the German burghers – the desire to save even the smallest detail is reflected in the interior: in one of the halls section of the wall behind the dresser is not painted (it is not visible to guests) and it is possible not to spend money on art painting. In one of the ceremonial halls over the door glass and it seems that the visible paintings on the ceiling of the next room (and rooms), and in fact is a mirror reflecting the first painting of the room and above the door is a blank wall.

Also, going from room to room, the visitor experiences a sense of the historical development of furniture, interiors, glassware, jewelry. Because the decoration of the halls are decorated in the classical style, characterized by strict lines, symmetry, regular alternation of columns, pilasters, Windows, and in the style of Balmier. This style has brought to life some bourgeois sentimentality and intimacy, the desire to find something idyllic in the home. Very interesting collection of furniture, Meissen porcelain and silver jewelry made in the Rococo style.

Couven Museum gives a vivid picture of the life of the German burghers of 18-19 centuries.
