About this audio guide
This guide to the Stadtmuseum im Fembo-Haus in Nuremberg follows Johann Baptist Homann, a seventeenth-century notary who turned to engraving copper maps and rose to become the Emperor's geographer. It traces how his name came to this Renaissance merchant's house on Burgstrasse, and the two managers who carried it there. Best heard on the pavement opposite, where you can see the gable and Fortuna on top.
