Artist Lucas Cranach lived and worked in the Cranachhaus on the Market (today the building houses a commercial art gallery). To see examples of his work, visit the church of St. Peter and Paul, where Cranach painted the triptych altarpiece, or the three galleries dedicated to him in the Schloss Museum. Also stop at Schiller's house and Liszt's neoclassical lodge in the park.
If you plan to visit a number of museums, it's worth buying a Sammelkarte (a booklet of tickets that gives you access to most of them, not including the Bauhaus, Schloss or Neues Museum, the modern art collection) from the Kasse by the Goethehaus.
