Yes if you want to understand the city before walking it, or if historic houses interest you. If you only have one day in Nuremberg, the castle and the Memorium come first.
It sits on the road up to the castle, with the Dürer house close by. The three together make a comfortable half day in the loveliest part of the old town.
Middling. The model show holds them, but the rest is traditional and reading-based. Older children engage more.

The Fembo House is a merchant's house from the late sixteenth century, and the only large Renaissance house left standing in Nuremberg. Much of the city was destroyed in the war, so its survival alone is reason enough to visit. Today it is the city museum. It explains the history of Nuremberg: how it became one of the richest cities in medieval Europe, its role in trade and craft, and what happened to it in the twentieth century. The best part is the historic rooms themselves: carved wooden ceilings, decorated walls and old staircases. The reception room upstairs, with its ornate ceiling, is among the finest interiors in the city. There is also a model-and-sound show setting out the city's history simply, which is useful before walking the old town.
