The first Bademuseum in Bad Elster, Saxony was opened in 1880 due to the work of Prof. Dr. Robert Flechsig (1817-1892), Bernhard v. Heygendorff (1843-1916) and the Royal Saxony court photographer Emil Tietze (1840-1831). It soon closed. After World War 2, Dr. Bruno Rudau (1891-1970) and a few other Bad Elster citizens created a new museum which suffered the same fate.

In 1993 it was created again under the title of the 'Sächsischen Bademuseum Bad Elster'. In the museum art gallery there is a permanent display of the history of the spa towns of Bad Elster and Bad Brambach and taking the waters. The Museum also holds the town's art collection.
