caption_attribution_description: Historischer Kunstbunker Nuremberg, Germany (Entrance)
context_page_description: The Historische Kunstbunker is a tunnel complex under Nuremberg Castle in the old city of Nuremberg. It forms part of the Nuremberg Historic Mile.
  In the Middle Ages, a network of rock passages was built in the hard sandstone of the castle. In the summer of 1940 the stone cellar of 52 Obere Schmiedgasse street was renovated for the protection of Nuremberg's artworks from air raids. The Neutorturm was also used as an art bunker from 1941 and the Paniersbunker under Paniersplatz from 1943.
  The construction regulated heating, ventilation, and drainage; the bunker extended 24 metres down and offered optimal conditions. There were also facilities for the guards. Contents included:
  Veit Stoss' Annunciation from St. Lorenz
  The Altarpiece of Veit Stoss
  The Imperial Regalia
  The Automaton clock from the Frauenkirche
  The Erdapfel
  The Codex Manesse
  Works of Albrecht Dürer
  Historic musical instruments, scientific implements and clock mechanisms
  Furniture and windows from the churches of the old city.
  Since 1994, there has been an organisation called Kunstbunker – forum für zeitgenössische kunst, which organises exhibitions of contemporary art in another Second World War bunker in Nuremberg.
