The palace was built from 1533 to 1544 as a garden palace for the Tucher family, one of the important patrician families in Nuremberg. Its peculiar exterior with the oriental-style turrets and the small oriel resting on an elephant-shaped base probably goes back to ideas of the merchant Lorenz Tucher, who had travelled to many places in the world. A number of valuable artworks and beautifully crafted pieces - loans from the Tucher family - can be seen inside: paintings by Michael Wolgemut, Hans Schäufelein, Nicolaus Neufchâtel and his pupils, Renaissance and Baroque furniture from various countries, including one of the rare cupboards by Peter Flötner, verre eglomisé from the workshop of Augustin Hirschvogel as well as the famous magnificent eight-piece crockery set commissioned by Linhard Tucher from Wenzel Jamnitzer, including glasses and tapestries. One section documents the history of the Nuremberg patricians. The Tucher Palace and the reconstructed Hirsvogel Hall with works by Peter Flötner and Georg Pencz, as well as the two linking gardens form a unique “Renaissance Island” in Nuremberg. History is brought to life in the theatre performance “Feine Gesellschaft” (Fine Society), which takes place during the winter months from October to May in the rooms of the Tucher Palace and the Hirsvogel Hall. The municipal theatre performs “Bettler und Patrizier” (Beggars and Patricians) along a tour through the town from the Tucher Palace to the Albrecht-Dürer-House during the summer months (June to September, subject to changes).
