The Goethe-Nationalmuseum is a museum devoted to the German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, in the town of Weimar in Germany. It was founded on 8 August 1885 as a result of the will of Goethe's last living heir, his grandson Walther von Goethe, who left the Goethe House to the state. After the Land of Thuringia was formed, the Goethe-Nationalmuseum, along with several buildings that were erected during the classical age as well as the Weimar palaces, became the property of Thuringia. In the 1920s, more Weimar buildings were assigned to the Goethe-Nationalmuseum. In 1953, these buildings became the property of the “Nationale Forschungs- und Gedenkstätten der klassischen deutschen Literatur in Weimar, NFG” (national research establishments and memorials of the German classical literature in Weimar). Since October 1991, the Goethe-Nationalmuseum belongs to the “Klassik Stiftung Weimar” (foundation of Weimar classicism) which succeeded the NFG. It administers not only the main house but altogether 22 historical houses and museums throughout the entire Weimar municipal area and around it. In Goethe's residential building, situated at the Weimar place "Frauenplan", visitors can have a look at the rooms in which he and his wife Christiane were living, at his study and library, the reception room, the rooms where the art collection was stored and the garden. In this house, there are also research facilities, including the so-called “Studiensaal”, an institution used during the age of Goethe which is similar to a congress or conference centre today and was also used as such. The Goethe-Nationalmuseum consists of Goethe's residential building and the "Goethe-Museum". This museum is situated in an extension that was built in 1935 next to the house. The exhibits largely consist of Goethe's collections in the domains of arts and natural science as well as his library and about 2,000 drawings he did himself. Today, the stock comprises about 100,000 exhibits and focuses on the period of Weimar classicism. ==External links== * (Goethe National Museum ) - official site 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goethe-Nationalmuseum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
