We booked this mine tour for 3:00 pm as all other slots were full. Unfortunately, the ticket cashier neglected to tell us that it would be German speaking only. She knew we were English when we asked for tickets. The guide noticed , once we got underground and out of the train that we couldn’t understand so he explained a little in English and then said if we came back the next day( the day we were departing) for 9:45 that we would hear it all in English. One of our friends did bring the matter up upon our departure from the building but it was kind of laughed at. I do think that staff should make people aware of the English and German speaking times.See more..
4.5Volkswagen Auto Museum(451 reviews) - If you love cars don't skip this place Sunday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
I loved it so much it was like walking into a shoe store. It's worth the time very impressive collectionSee more..
The admission is free of charge, if you are wearing a service uniform or have a valid military service ID ready, otherwise, the entry costs 14 € for adults. It is located in an easy to reach place. It will probably take 2-3 hours to complete the full tour around all of the ships (and there are at least 5 you can get on or in (in the case of the submarine)). The enjoyment is amplified if you actually know a little about the navy. The ships are from slightly different service periods, therefore it is interesting to note the layout and equipment differences between them.See more..
4.5Deutsches Panzermuseum(374 reviews) - Must visit for anyone interested in armoured warfare Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
A museum covering virtually the whole history of German armoured from the First World War to modern equipment of the Bundeswehr. Being a Second World War history buff, I was most fascinated with the tanks of the era. Amongst the tanks on display are the Panther, Tiger, and King Tiger. It’s a must visit for any military history buff; admission is 8€, there is a small and limited gift store. Give yourself at least two hours to do the place justice. Masks are currently recommended but not required.See more..
4.0German Salt Museum(184 reviews) - Such a good idea Sunday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
So, this is a museum about salt, and they're rightly very proud of that. As a non-German speaker you need to pay for audioguides that are sometimes very silly (with canned laughter, clapping etc) as everything is written in German. During covid-19 some things were naturally not possible, and perhaps some things were that shouldn't have been (multiple "touch stations"). You can learn a lot about the importance of salt.See more..

4.5Windstärke 10(137 reviews) - Excellent modern maritime museum Spent 2-3 hours Speciality Museums
Very interactive, architecturally stunning, free parking in front, next to the top local fish restaurant, this new museum features exhibits focused on going to sea from the very harbor it's at. The personalization of the life and fate of sailors is really impressive. Very strong focus on kids, who all loved it and were really excited. One of the best activities for a rainy day, or any day, in Cuxhaven or nearby.See more..
4.0Varusschlacht Museum und Park(108 reviews) - Great visit but a little reading beforehand makes it even better Speciality Museums
I stayed in Minden and it’s bit over an hour on the autobahn to get there. The Varusschlacht is where archaeological finds were made suggesting a Roman encampment and the possible site of the Teutoburg Forest battle. The site and museum is well organized with plenty of items found on display including Roman coins, remnants of shields and arrowheads. The museum is housed in a watchtower which provides an overview of the lay of the land and of the battlefield. There is also a gift store and cafeteria nearby as well. A lot of the displays are in German only but there are some English translations. This was no issue but a tip: if you’re not familiar with what happened, you should do a little research as the information provided likely won’t paint a complete picture. In all, it was a great day out to get see the countryside and the likely site of one of the most important battles fought in the ancient world was a great thrill. Any student in history would get a similar thrillSee more..
4.5Teemuseum(102 reviews) - Tea Museum in Norden Speciality Museums
We were with a large group that toured this lovely and unusual museum. When I think about tea, my thoughts go to England and Holland. This museum makes it quite clear that the Ostfriesland region has a long history of producing tea. After going through the museum, we were treated to a very “lecker Tasse heißen Tee” with some lovely cookies. Absolutely delicious!See more..
4.5Museum Hameln(102 reviews) - Well worth a visit Sunday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
It doesn't look big from the outside but goes on and on, on the inside. Really interesting history about the Pied Piper and lots of books, pictures etc, as well as a history of Hameln and even a special exhibition about the history of James Bond, the films, actors etc. There was disabled access not only with lifts, but special stair lifts as well. A very enjoyable and interesting visit.See more..

4.5Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum(90 reviews) - Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum Sunday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Speciality Museums • Art Museums
The Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum is one of Europe's oldest art museums. The name reminiscents of Anthony Ulrich, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. He acquired the major part of the high-class collection: the precious paintings - amongst them works by Giorgione, Rubens, Rembrandt and Jan Vermeer van Delft - as well as the biggest collection of Italian majolica-ceramics north of the Alps, more than 200 exemplars of french enamel paintings as well as a remarkable collection of Eastern Asian artworks.See more..
This museum, a small kilometer from the city centre, is a varied museum, containing several well preserved pieces on the cultural and natural history. In my experience it was a well organised and very neat museum with a great variety of pieces across its small surface. The only thing I would like to stress is that the English information lacks. There is only a lot of German information. Most of the times an educated guess is enough to see what something is, however, more English information would improve this venue for visitors from outside Germany.See more..
Felix Nussbaum Haus – “A museum without Exit”by architect Daniel Libeskind. The Art museum is dedicated to the life and works of the German-Juwish Surrealist, killed at Auschwitz. Very interesting and must see concept together with Cultural History Museum (former Villa Schlicker of industrial tycoon, then NSDAP HQ until 1945). The Nussbaum Haus is asymmetrical with sloping corridors, odd windows, and strange sounds giving the visitor a friable feeling of disorientation; imitating the painters feeling under the NS regime or at the concentration camp. Nussbaum might not be famous, but his paintings and the building structure giving the visitor a glimpse into his tragic life. Before visiting do a bit of research or read the history of Nussbaum by the Belgian author Marc Schaevers. The audio guide is helpful.See more..
It is not very famous, but impressive UNESCO site. The have a lot to see and learn about monks who lives there and their home. The only downside is very little information in language then German.See more..

4.5Mühlenmuseum Gifhorn(64 reviews) - Peaceful and pleasant Spent 2-3 hours Speciality Museums
Great place to visit, even for those who is not a big fan of windmills. It is a park built from scratch in the 70's but many of the mills contain original parts. Excellent reconstruction work. Nice walk for a morning or afternoon in family. Little choice of catering. Don't miss the Orthodox wood church. It's paid, it's a replica, but it's worth it.See more..

Especially fascinating is the man engine the system of reciprocating ladders. It is one of the oldest man engines in the world and still working!See more..
4.5Münchhausen-Museum(51 reviews) - Wonderfull place, very friendly staff Speciality Museums
If a book of Baron von Münchhausen's stories was one from your childhood do not miss this museum and Bodenwerder. Russian tourists can particularly enjoy, because Oleg Yankovsky's features (actor who played Baron in the famous film 1979) seem to be depicted in a couple of recent Baron's sculptures.See more..

4.5Zinnfiguren-Museum Goslar(48 reviews) - Go here first when visiting Goslar Sunday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
I loved this little museum for the interesting history about Goslar and the impressive toy soldier dioramas. The free audio guide in English or German which comes with the four Euro adult entrance fee provides a lot of background on the history of the city, which is also told throughout the different displays which are very well done. My favorite dioramas was the series on the Thirty Years War, especially one of an immense battlefield which had hundreds of figures. You can also buy some figures or even some mini dioramas at the museum shop.. I only wish I had a little more time and started our day in Goslar here in order to get the historical background first. Highly recommendedSee more..

The museum Schwedenspeicher can easily compete with the bigger museums in Hamburg and co. I have seen several exhibitions here and the latest on is the DaVinci exhibition which is well worth a visit. Located at the Fishmarket in Stade, you are in the middle of everything and after the exhibition you are spoilt for choice at the numerous cafes, restaurants and bars. See more..
4.5Wilhelm-Busch-Muehle(40 reviews) - A charming glance at country life in the 19. century Speciality Museums
There are three good reasons to visit this place: the first is a literary one, as one understands where Wilhelm Busch got the inspiration for his work from. The second is an historical one, as you can see a water-mill in full function, as well as an authentically restored mill house. The third one is just to relax in the lovely little garden just in front of the house and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of past times.See more..

4.5Museum Schloss Furstenberg(40 reviews) - The Fuerstenberg museum is great!! Sean Fuerstenberg Sunday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
See. Experience. Understanding. The MUSEUM SCHLOSS FÜRSTENBERG in the heart of the Weserbergland brings three centuries of porcelain history to life. Visitors can experience the fascination of porcelain at extraordinary hands-on stations and get to know the production and the different epochs and styles at the same time. Classic exhibition areas and precious collections alternate with interactive exhibits and so-called hands-on stations where touching is expressly desired. Different tea and coffee pots tell their stories and decorations dance by means of digital projections in the truest sense of the word on white vases. "Table, set yourself" is the motto with more than 250 individual pieces of porcelain, which can be combined by the visitors themselves and arranged on a table. Experience fine porcelain up close, marvel at it or design it yourself - with this concept the MUSEUM SCHLOSS FÜRSTENBERG offers many hours of infotainment for all ages.See more..
The museum is probably the best in the world. It features water and windmills from all over the world. The open air water and windmilsl are exact replicas or the real windmills like the one from Korea. The museums inside has miniature windmilsl from many countries dating back hundreds of years. Each one explains its purpose, age and history. You must be able to read German, duplicating the explanations in English would clutter the museum.See more..
We visited as we were interested in seeing what my wife's ancestors may have had to deal with. There were no English tours that day so we chose to go with the German tour. While we didn't understand what he was saying, the guide was very hands on with demonstrations, asking kids to do some tasks, so the language barrier was a challenge we were still glad we took it. The museum and tour into the mine were very eye opening as to what the workers had to deal with in the early mines in the area. We felt safe in the mine. Would suggest a visit if in the area.

How could I've skipped the Wilhelm Bush Museum being in his hometown? I learned of his art when I lived in Munich years ago and my philosophy professor, Karl Jaspers, gave me one of Bush's children caricature books for Christmas. I still gab the book at home; but, oh my, looking at his drawings at this Hannover museum was indeed a journey. Some drawings are so so funny, those roundish faced with pacifiers, those tricky acts, those great sketches of people you don't know but it doesn't matter: just enjoy the lines. Caricature along with satire is a wonderful way to see the other side of common place. I went twice and will return. Try it out!See more..
4.5Alter Leuchtturm(33 reviews) - Nice view, but the museum is the big sell! Speciality Museums • Lighthouses
Loved the view and the little room half-way, but was really surprised by the wealth of information given in the lovely little museum that could basically double as an island museum. A lot of attention to detail and lots of little souvenirs from the island's history, as well as info about the tidal flats/ North Sea animals around. A little automated train rides up and down the round center display every few minutes. So cute!See more..

4.5Horst Janssen Museum(32 reviews) - A MUST for visitors to Oldenburg Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums • Art Museums
The Horst Janssen Museum is dedicated to the visual arts on paper. It is named after the great North German draughtsman, etcher, woodcutter, poster artist, illustrator, author and graphic artist Horst Janssen. The museum offers an exciting encounter with the work and personality of this idiosyncratic artist. The focus is on drawing as a universal means of human expression. In addition to the art of Horst Janssen, we and our guests are interested in the classical and contemporary trends in this genre. Furthermore, we will examine how, for example, digital tools can change drawing, what drawing can be all about or what individual understanding artists have of it.See more..
4.5Bunting Teamuseum(31 reviews) - Wohin mit dem von weit her angereisten Besuch Sunday: Speciality Museums • History Museums
The Bünting Tea Museum was founded in 2001 with the aim of bringing the historical and social significance of East Frisian tea culture to life. For the Bünting Group of Companies, the Tea Museum expresses its solidarity with the values and traditions of the region as well as its own history. For the museum, a location with special significance was logically chosen: in the middle of the beautiful historic old town of Leers. Just two houses down - at Brunnenstraße 37 - Johann Bünting founded his small grocery store in 1806. The fine offer of tea, coffee, tobacco and spices formed the foundation for later development into a major trading company.See more..
