Kronberger Haus - Porzellanmuseum stands in Frankfurt inside a noble palace built by Franz von Kronberg between 1577 and 1580. The city of Frankfurt acquired the palace in 1862.

Across its history, the house served as a noble residence, printing workshop, tobacco factory, town hall, school, and library. The building changed its public purpose repeatedly. A major restoration in 1984 adapted the palace for cultural use, followed by another restoration after a fire in 1989. The second restoration followed the 1989 fire. The house has served as a museum branch since 1994.

The museum presents Höchst porcelain collections. The displays focus on porcelain art from the Rococo and Classicism periods, giving the palace a clear material focus. Rococo and Classicism shape the porcelain displays. Here, the palace’s changing civic roles meet the history of Höchst porcelain in one Frankfurt setting. The setting joins architecture with porcelain art. Frankfurt’s Kronberger Haus records both a building history and a collection history. The building’s uses range from residence to library. Porcelain provides the museum’s central subject within this historically reused palace. The house carries both civic and cultural history.
