Cologne’s National Socialism Documentation Center was founded by a resolution passed by the Cologne city council 1979 and has become the largest regional memorial site in all of Germany for the victims of the Nazis. Since 1988, it has been housed in “EL-DE Haus," the EL-DE building, named for the initials of its owner, Catholic businessman Leopold Dahmen. This building was the headquarters of the Cologne Gestapo (secret police) between December 1935 and March 1945. In the final months of the war, several hundred people, most of them foreign forced laborers, were murdered in the courtyard of the building. In a bit of historical irony, the EL-DE building remained largely untouched by the ravages of the war. The NS Documentation Center (NS-DOC) is dedicated to memorializing the victims of the Nazi regime, as well as research and teaching about Cologne's history during the Nazi era. The former Gestapo prison was inaugurated as a memorial site on December 4, 1981.See more..

4.5German Mining Museum(561 reviews) - Glück auf Sunday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
The extraction, processing and utilization of mineral geo-resources, subsumed here under the term ‘mining’, is a subject with great significance for the development of human civilization. The global importance of mining is increasing today, and will no doubt continue to do so in future. This is clear from the political campaigns and the intense media reactions associated with issues of raw material supplies and shortages, and also resource conservation (recycling and the use of renewable energy sources). The work of the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum, as the leading international museum on the mining industry, takes place within this socially relevant context. As one of the Leibniz Association’s research museums, the DBM is devoted to investigating the extraction, processing and utilization of mineral raw materials in the context of social, cultural, ecological and economic dynamics, spanning different historical periods. The museum shows the lasting impact which these processes have had on the development of society, and preserves relevant evidence for future generations. In short: The Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum is the cultural memory of the mining industry.See more..

4.5Kolumba(294 reviews) - Don't Miss this Opportunity Speciality Museums
Kolumbia was not on our list, but along our meandering path, we found a wall that looked like it was built on an ancient foundation. We meandered further, into the free section where we could see that archaeology revealed life back to Roman occupation. It lured us further into the section where we were willing to pay admission fees to see more archaeology realign layers of civilization: Roman occupation dwellings layered over with Medieval structures and than a parish church not far from Cologne Cathedral. All of this was revealed by the British bombing of central Cologne in 1942. Rebuilt is a breathtaking museum that houses contemporary art fused with classical art exhibition. The rooms go on forever, and there are quiet places to absorb and be absorbed into art installations. No didactic panels, which suits me just fine, and the small exhibition catalogue is German only. This is one of the most outstanding conversations between antiquity and contemporary life. Don't miss it. See more..

4.5LWL Industrial Museum Zollern(213 reviews) - An insight into the industrial past of Dortmund Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Speciality Museums
At first sight palatial redbrick facades and artistically adorned gables on buildings dotted around a grassy square are more reminiscent of an aristocratic residence than a coal mine. This was exactly one of the ideas behind the architecture. Today the “mansion of labour” in the west of Dortmund is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and impressive testimonies to Germany’s industrial history. The engine house with its famous Jugendstil doorway is already an icon. But the museum’s outstanding industrial architecture is only one of many different attractive facets. The various sections of the exhibition will take you into a world of harsh working conditions, and the stories of the men and women who worked in coalmining during the 20th century will bring this vividly to life.See more..
4.5Zoologisches Museum Konig(196 reviews) - Wonderful museum! Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Speciality Museums
The museum can be highly recommended. It mainly shows taxidermied animals, which are presented in a natural looking environment. The museum is not too big, but you can nevertheless spend 2 hours there if you want to see everything. At the moment there is a well arranged special exhibition about dinosaurs. In the basement of the building there are some aquariums with live fish. It is also worth mentioning that you can take a break in a cafeteria. The entrance fee for adults is €5 and for pensioners €2.50. The museum is easily accessible by public transport. If you come by car, it is best to use one of the car parks nearby.See more..
4.5LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur(188 reviews) - Well Designed Museum of History, Art and Culture Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums • Art Museums
The LWL-Museum fur Kunst und Kultur unites 1,000 years of art, ranging from the early Middle Ages through to the present. Guided tours, workshops and artists’ talks offer new ways of approaching art.

The Red Dot Design Museum is the largest of its kind in the world. There are some smaller museums in Singapore and in China. The museum is very well designed, which is in part due to the fact that modern, well-designed utility items and other objects are presented in an old industrial building on the site of the former coal mine site ″Zollverein″. A large part of the exhibited objects won the Red Dot Award just this year. The museum is larger than you might first imagine and you should bring plenty of time to take a close look at everything. The staff in the cash desk area are very friendly. Nearby there are enough free parking spaces.See more..
4.5Kommern Open Air Museum(182 reviews) - Open Air Museum Sunday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Speciality Museums

It was good to learn about the history of this 18th century mansion and the local wealthy family of textile producers who made it their fancy homestead. Second half of May when we attempted to visit the building, going inside was not an option due to the on-going pandemic restrictions. We were able to see it from the outside and use the information provided. We were lucky to to be with a local friend who gave us "a virtual tour''.See more..
4.5Museum Schnutgen(145 reviews) - Small but lovely collection Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
Relatively small collection of medieval religious art but still there are some very impressive pieces. In particular the carved oak pieces are lovely and the memento mori fascinating. I was in here for not very long. A discount is provided with the CologneCard but I still think it’s somewhat pricey. See more..
4.5HNF MuseumsForum(143 reviews) - Educational and fun Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
I've been to the Heinrich Nixdorf Museum a few times and was never disappointed. It's not just educational, it's a lot of fun with many interactive displays and games. While it's all about technology you don't have to be tech-savvy to enjoy the experience. My understanding of technology goes as far as being able to use the microwave, yet I truly enjoyed every visit to the HNM. See more..
4.0Kunstmuseum Pablo Picasso Muenster(143 reviews) - unique special exhibits Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums • Art Museums
Das Kunstmuseum Pablo Picasso Münster ist Deutschlands einziges Picasso-Museum. Es beherbergt die weltweit umfangreichste Sammlung der Lithografien Pablo Picassos sowie weitere Picasso-Bestände in verschiedenen künstlerischen Techniken und aus unterschiedlichen Schaffensperioden. Große Werkkonvolute seiner künstlerischen Mitstreiter Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Joan Miró und Henri Matisse gehören ferner zu den Schätzen des Museums. In wechselnden Ausstellungen beleuchtet das Picasso-Museum das facettenreiche Werk des Spaniers, indem es sein grafisches Schaffen in Dialog zu Malerei und Skulptur stellt.

4.0Couven Museum(137 reviews) - A place that shows the life and times of Aacheners Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
The Couven Museum presents how Aacheners lived in the late 18th and early 19th century. The museum was named after the father and son Aachen baroque architects Couven. During our visit they had an exhibit that span Germany in 1930 - 1960. The placards for this exhibit were in German but, it was easy to determine what these commonly used items were. This museum tells a great story of the life and times of Aacheners. Allow ~2+ hrs for your visit.See more..
4.5DASA(125 reviews) - health and safety Sunday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums

4.0Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn(119 reviews) - Great museum if you know German to a native proficiency Sunday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
An interesting building and excellent ground floor exhibit. Unfortunately the rest of the exhibits above ground floor were predominantly in German with no English anywhere, no leaflets/paper materials or anything either. We ended up just walking around at a leisurely pace, looking at the many Roman artefacts and unable to learn much about them. Certainly seems a museum for national tourists rather than international.See more..

4.5Max Ernst Museum des LVR(102 reviews) - Impressive exhibition of Max Ernst work Sunday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
The tickets are normally 6-7 € but I paid 10,50 € because there was an exhibition of a contemporary Wilson at the moment. The audioguide costs 2€ and is worth buying because you will get the works interpretations as well as some details from the live if Ernst. There are 9 rooms the work is exhibited in, 2 downstairs and the rest upstairs. There is a lift, gift shop and a restaurant with prices 10-15€ per meal. After getting of the train it is very easy to find the museum according to the navigation tables. The exhibition includes the statues as well as paintings of Ernst. The building itself is one Ernst used to visit for dancing events. I personally like his statues, which are playful and cute. You will learn what objects Ernst was using as templates for his forms and that his main motifs were birds and fish. I recommend to visit it also with children, they might enjoy the statues.See more..
Visited here with my husband and two young children during our stay in Muenster. I wasn't sure what to expect as several reviews had suggested their visit didn't last long because all the signs were in German, I suppose unsurprisingly. We didn't realise there even was an English audio guide so we made do with what was available on the general entrance ticket but we had a great time here. We spent a whole afternoon looking around the exhibits, and that was even with the planetarium being closed for renovation at the moment. There is a section about space (would usually include the planetarium), one about animals in the local area, both past and present, one about dinosaurs, and one about the forest. There is also a nice cafe and a gift shop. Though the signs were not in English it was not difficult to work out what the point of the displays was. Our children had a great afternoon there, as did we. I would definitely recommend it to others visiting the area. See more..
4.5Hetjens Museum (Deutsches Keramikmuseum)(92 reviews) - An amazing museum! Even if you have not known ceramics in past-you will LOVE this Sunday: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums

4.5Arithmeum(83 reviews) - Love math and computers? This is for you! Sunday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
No need to buy advance tickets for this delightful collection of antique calculators and counting devices (loved the ivory slide rule and the jade abacus!). Do you know where the word “calculus” comes from? You will! Your inner math nerd will love this place. Some exhibits are hands-on so you can try the early machines yourself. Masks required and gloves provided. You start on the 4th floor and work your way down. Beautiful wall art of silicon chip layers and an area with a silicon rod to see how chips are made. There’s also a small VR section where you can experience flying through the layers of a computer chip. Pretty cool.See more..
The crowds cheered in joy when the Kaiser officially opened the Henrichenburg Ship Lift on the 11th August 1899. Over a century later visitors to the largest construction on the Dortmund-Ems canal are equally delighted at what they can see and experience. The gigantic ship lift has lain still for over 40 years. But the history of the ship lift and the people who worked on the canal has been brought back to life in our museum. We can offer you a unique collection of historic boats and other floating equipment, some of which even go into operation on special occasions. During the summer season a pleasure steamer departs from the museum quay several times a day. Climb aboard!See more..

A world class museum well hidden in an unremarkable German town. The museum is great and for modern art lovers (yes, they have Turrell and Kosuth and much more), but also for families with kids or those wanting to see something new. The instalations are beautifully arranged in an old brewery - what makes a great museum even more fantastic. The place is in my personal top 5 of the region.See more..
Motorworld was free to enter and there is a large, open, free parking lot. There are a few restaurants in the area. We spent about 1 hour looking at the cars. I think 2 hours would be adequate if you wanted to read/ watch/ listen to everything. There are two gifts shops. The facility is clean and well laid out. We enjoyed stopping here on our way to lunch in the city center. See more..
People began chipping out the first lumps of “black gold” from the hillsides of the Ruhrgebiet around 300 years ago. The Nightingale Colliery will take you back to the time when miners could walk straight inside the galleries to get at the coal; and later sunk the first shafts below ground. Equipped with a helmet and pit lamp visitors can take a walk down the narrow gangway of our mining gallery to a genuine coal streak and experience the unique atmosphere of early mining. One of the oldest hauling engines in the region can be seen in operation in the engine house.See more..

So, follow the traces of the brewing traditions in the Brewing Museum Dortmund.See more..

3.5Explorado Duisburg(56 reviews) - So much to do This location was reported permanently closed Speciality Museums
My son loved this place. It wasn't so much a museum as an activity science centre. There were activities for every type of child: those who like to dress up could enjoy the cultural area with outfits and activities from different countries ; for kids who like to run and the harbour and play boat offer hours of dragging and lifting, or the animal tunnels provide areas to discover ; there are painting activities and making activities and computer animation. My son became fixated with the boat and gathered a small band of multinational children who, without a common language were still able to play and follow each others gestured instructions to successfully supply their boat with grain and cast it off. Any child with an imagination and love of hands on activity will enjoy this place. There is a cafe to grab food and drinks and good toilet facilities.See more..

4.5Mahn- und Gedenkstatte(44 reviews) - So proud of Dusseldorf for this. Must do. Speciality Museums
So proud of all the people who made the telling of this horrific story happen. To not learn the lessons from the Nazi era, as uncomfortable as it is for the German people, and show how so very many German people were resisting the regime is an important message. Given the sickening rise of right-wing politics in the UK and elsewhere, people need to know how quite apart from Jews and gay men, socialists, catholics and people with disabilities where persecuted and killed by the regime, built on a presumed superior race and people unable to see how they were being manipulated by fear, stoked by xenophobia, racism and homophbia. Sound familiar in 2020? Alas yes. A fitting and poignant last visit to mainland Europe, before Brexit at the end of this month. Enough said. Thank you for giving hope from the often unsung generosity of spirit and inclusivity of most people in the world.See more..
