There are three levels to visit each with a different theme. The first offers a look into oceanic areas, animals, Asian countries and even how diseases like malaria impact the areas. The second floor focuses on desert areas, evolution, and the role we humans play on the planet! The third floor focuses on north and South America. You can hear very interesting interviews with real people from areas such as Bremen Indiana! I highly recommend this museum that's centrally located right next to the main train station in Bremen, Germany.

A really great museum - a must have for every tourist and visitor in Bremen! And for inhabitants…read moreanyway. Architecture of the main building is very unique and looks great. But the high degree of interactivity of exhibitions objects is amazing. You must touch and move everything to engage with exhibitions themes. Great place. Will be closed between November 2014 and march 2015.

Very original museum. We went there with some colleges from the university (all Aeronautical…read moreEngineers) during a visit in Bremen. At least found many interesting things and diverse stuff to play with (Yes... Like if we were kids). What I think is great of this place apart from the great number of spaces and sections it has, is that it is very adapted to different ages and levels of interest concerning science. I believe it will be a great experience for anyone no matter your age, and whether you are very interested in science or not.

Visiting this museum can be a mind-altering experience. It's one thing to see photos, or even film…read moreclips and videos of battle tanks in action . . . .It is yet another thing to view them up close and personal in a museum as well-inventoried as the Panzermueuem in Munster, Germany. It's not in Munster with an umlaut, it's the other one, to the north. And not just battle tanks are on display here. All manner of vehicles used in war are restored and on display here, such as command jeeps, half-tracks, communication vehicles, and so many more. The diverse colors and styles of camouflage are fascinating. Want to see an Israeli Merkava tank up close? How about every model of German tank employed during WW2? And also very modern German tanks like the Tiger and Leopard. Vintage and modern armored staff vehicles as well. One neat display was an impeccably white UN vehicle in full UN livery. A Mercedes tristar emblem adorns the grill, of course. There are several outstanding engine cutaways, but the single most impressive exhibit was a cutaway tank ! Cars and aircraft can be cut away using a can opener, but tanks are a completely different story, as the cutaway amply proves. It's a fantastic exhibit! Fans of small arms mounted on small, maneuverable vehicles will not be disappointed either, given the variety and quality of the armed and armored small vehicles on display, even including their belt-fed machine guns, and the mannequins to operate them. It's incredible. Visit this museum. Schnell !

I've been SO wanting to visit this museum but it is somewhat out of the way so I camped in Soltau…read moreand visited the museum from there (regular erxx trains from Soltau and to get there, you could leave from Hannover). It was more than I could describe, perhaps an earth shaking moment. I could die today and not regret not having completed my must see list. By all means, SEE THIS MUSEUM. There is a gift shop and a tiny cafe, also a private restaurant across the street and a grocery store few blocks away. Almost of the description boards are in German, a few have translations but there are audio guides for those who can't figure out the details.
