Braunschweigisches Landesmuseum

The Braunschweigisches Landesmuseum spreads across several buildings in the city, with its main site at the Vieweg-Haus on Burgplatz and additional exhibition spaces elsewhere. The rooms display artworks, crafts, everyday objects, and industrial developments from different periods in the region's past.

The museum was founded in 1891 and initially focused on the history of the region's rulers. By 1902, the institution moved to St. Aegidien Church and greatly expanded its collections.

The museum preserves evidence of Jewish life in the region through objects from destroyed synagogues and religious artifacts from earlier times. These collections help visitors understand Jewish culture and its importance to Brunswick's history.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday and gives you plenty of time to explore the different exhibitions at each location. It is best to plan several hours to visit all the sites comfortably.

The museum holds a remarkable collection of roughly 400 Brunsviga calculating machines that form the foundation of an entire industrial section. These machines reveal the local tradition of invention and manufacturing during the 1900s.
