Museum of Braunschweig, a renowned cultural institution in the city.
The Brunswick State Museum, a historical institution founded in 1890, has temporarily closed its doors for a substantial renovation project. The renovation, which is expected to last until 2027, is being funded by the state of Lower Saxony to the tune of 47.5 million euros.
During this period, the museum's main branch, the Vieweghaus on Burgplatz, is undergoing a transformation. However, the show must go on, and temporary exhibitions will continue to be held at changing locations within the city.
One such exhibition is 'A Part of Us. German-Jewish Stories from Lower Saxony,' currently on display at the former Aegidienkloster site. This thought-provoking exhibition delves into the rich history of German-Jewish communities in Lower Saxony.
In addition to temporary exhibitions, the Brunswick State Museum has also opened a hands-on museum about the Middle Ages at St. Ulrici-Brüdern. This interactive museum invites families to explore Brunswick in the 13th century, offering a unique and engaging way to learn about the city's history.
