The Städel Museum is Germany's oldest museum foundation, established in 1815 through the bequest of banker and art patron Johann Friedrich Städel. Its collection spans European art from the 14th century to the present, including Old Masters, German Impressionism, and contemporary work, displayed across its 1878 building on the Museumsufer and a striking underground gallery extension added in 2012. It is one of the anchor museums of Sachsenhausen's Museum Embankment, the dense cluster of museums lining the south bank of the River Main.
