A visit to Hanover’s museums
Immerse yourself in Hanover’s colourful museum landscape and discover countless galleries, museums and exhibitions. You can find everything from the city’s history to science and contemporary art.
Some of our personal recommendations:
- The Sprengel Museum, which houses an impressive collection of modern and contemporary art;
- The Design Museum, which focuses on the history and development of design in the region;
- The Hanover Tram Museum, which provides an insight into the history of trams in Hanover;
- The Historical Museum, which shows the history of Hanover from ancient times to the present day;
- The Kestner Gesellschaft, one of Hanover’s oldest and most renowned institutions for contemporary art;
- The Wilhelm Busch Museum, named after the famous caricaturist, writer and painter Wilhelm Busch;
- and The Landesmuseum, which documents the natural and cultural history of Lower Saxony.
What are the opening hours?
The museums are open from Tuesday to Sunday from 11am to 6pm. Admission is around €5. On Fridays, however, admission to most museums is free.
After an eventful and informative day at the museum, you can stop off at Café Centrale and chat about the information you have gained and the history that the city of Hanover has to tell.
