Historisches Museum Aurich

The Historisches Museum Aurich occupies a former administrative building in the town center and displays the regional past across different exhibition sections. The collections contain findings from various periods that show how this area developed over time.

The museum was created in the 1980s when local citizens joined together to restore the historic building and establish a collection. This effort made it possible to gather important objects from regional history in one place.

The exhibitions reveal how people in this region lived and what mattered to them across different time periods through displayed objects. Visitors see the daily rhythms and traditions that shaped local identity over generations.

The museum opens several days each week and is easy to reach from the town center. Plan enough time to look through the different sections at a comfortable pace, since each one covers different aspects of local history.

One special highlight is the opportunity to watch or participate in the preparation of tea using local traditions. Many visitors do not realize that audio guides are also available in different languages, including the local dialect spoken in the region.
