Focke Museum, State cultural heritage museum in Schwachhausen, Germany
Description
The Focke Museum is a cultural museum in Schwachhausen housed in several historic buildings and modern exhibition spaces spread across a large park-like grounds. The spaces hold objects, artworks, and documents that show Bremen's history from early times to today.
History
The museum was founded in 1924 when two older collections were brought together, one originally from industry and trade and another focused on Bremen's history. This merger created a more complete collection showing different aspects of city life.
Culture
The collections show how Bremen developed over centuries through objects that reflect daily life and the city's growth. Visitors encounter things that tell the stories of people who lived here.
Practical
The grounds are spacious and it is worth planning time to explore the different buildings and exhibition areas. The spaces remain accessible in poor weather since most collections are housed indoors.
Did you know?
The grounds include an old mill from 1848, a wooden and stone building once used for grinding grain, which visitors can walk around and observe. The mill remains intact enough to show how the grinding process actually worked.
