The Fürth town museum has moved from Schloss Burgfarnbach to Mathildenstraße and opened this morning.
Some of the busts of famous Fürthers were more convincing than this one. The exhibition is Aus den Hinterhöfen zur Weltspitze. It's not exactly anything to write home about, but then it's practically next door.

Das Handwerk zu Beginn des Königreichs Craft At The Beginning Of The Kingdom
(capitalization theirs) perhaps conveyed little. But this is carping. It is a nice museum and some of the permanent exhibits are interesting.
Here's a pane of the Fürth window at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum - note Fürth skyline, clover leaf and figure holding the Adler, the first train in Germany.
