The Ore Mountain Museum is a museum in Annaberg-Buchholz in the German state of Saxony and located in the Ore Mountains of Central Europe. Its display includes examples of Ore Mountain folk art, especially carvings, bobbin work and passements) and gives an insight into the history of the town of Annaberg and of silver mining in the region. The museum also owns a work from the workshop of Lucas Cranach the Younger from 1572 and a large collection of valuable pewter vessels. Adjoining the museum is the visitor mine of Im Gößner.
The museum was established in 1887 as the Museum of Ore Mountain Antiquities and was initially housed in the town hall in Annaberg. The basis of its presentations is formed from the private collections and donations of Annaberg's townsfolk. As a result of the rapid expansion of the exhibition, it moved in 1891 to its present home opposite St. Anne's Church. In 1905, there was an initiative by the Ore Mountain Club, who supported the museum financially and in other ways until 1927, to rename it to the Ore Mountain Museum. The profile of the museum was heavily influenced by its first curator and local historian, Emil Finck.
