The Historisches Museum der Pfalz (Historical Museum of the Palatinate) is a museum in Speyer dedicated to the history of the Palatinate. With its collection of more than one million artifacts, the museum is one of the major cultural attractions not only in the Land of Rhineland-Palatinate, but also in Germany, also thanks to the numerous internationally famous temporary exhibitions. Inaugurated in 1869, the museum is housed in an early 20th century building in the historic center of the city.

The permanent collection is divided into five sections: Prehistory, Roman Age, Cathedral Treasury, Modern Age and Wine Museum. Prehistoric finds show the cultural, social and economic development in the Palatinate from the earliest findings to the eve of the Roman occupation. The section dedicated to the Roman era displays finds from the Palatinate, a territory that was once an important part of the Roman province of Upper Germany. The Treasury of the Cathedral also contains the most important testimonies of the era of the Salic Dynasty, an important protagonist of the Holy Roman Empire. One of these is the imperial crown of Conrad II of 1039. The modern section shows the artistic, cultural and social development of the region from the Renaissance to the early 1900s. Finally, the section dedicated to wine, celebrating its importance for the territory, preserves unique artifacts from the world of wine, including the oldest wine ever found, the bottle of Speyer wine, dating back to the 4th century.
