Bomann-Museum

The Bomann Museum is a regional museum and heritage building in Celle housing seven permanent exhibitions focused on the history and culture of eastern Lower Saxony. The collections include farming equipment, craft items, and personal objects from different periods of regional development.

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.
