On 2.800 square meters it presents archaeology, history, art and natural history. Models, all sorts of installations, and computer animations explain the origin and settlement of the Upper Swabian landscape. The collections reveal the life and the terms of employment of the people, such as the notable weaving in the town since the 17th century. Prominent pieces of art from former times until the present enrich the knowledge of the visitors.[2]
The art-historical division gathers key works of art of the Upper Swabian region and the important works of the German expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.
Since 1898 numerous founders and sponsors laid the basis for a Biberach civil museum which was opened in 1902 in the historical rooms of the hospital to the Holy Ghost (German: Hospital zum Heiligen Geist).
A legacy from the Munich painters Anton Braith (a Biberachian by birth, 1836–1905) and Christian Mali (1832–1906) in the years 1905–1908 bequeathed their representative and richly equipped atelier rooms to the museum. Today the Braith Mali drawing rooms are the only completely preserved artist's studios from the 19th century.[1]
The museum encloses the divisions:
