Bomann-Museum, Historical museum and architectural monument in Celle, Germany.
The Bomann-Museum is a museum of Lower Saxon folklore, regional and urban history in Celle, one of the largest city museums in Lower Saxony. Its building on Schlossplatz, erected 1903–1907 to plans by Alfred Sasse, is a collage of styles: castle and residential forms, solid masonry and half-timbering, Gothic and Renaissance elements. A glass cube entrance by Ahrens-Grabenhorst was added in 2005.
Wilhelm Bomann founded this institution in 1892 as a collection of regional objects and expanded it into one of the largest museums in Lower Saxony. The building was enlarged and modernized several times to accommodate growing collections and new exhibition concepts.
The museum displays faithful reconstructions of 19th-century living spaces, including a complete farmhouse from the region with period furniture and household objects. These interiors give visitors a direct sense of how people lived and worked in earlier times.
The museum is open to visitors from Tuesday through Sunday, though opening hours may vary by season and special occasions. It is recommended to check specific opening times before your visit as these can change.
The top floor presents personal stories of people who left Celle, with photographs and objects documenting their migration experiences. This exhibition connects memories from different time periods and reveals how emigration shaped residents' lives.
