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.

The museum is named according to the artist Horst Janssen…read more It is situated in the center of Oldenburg. The building is very modern and it is a pleasure to look at. The paintings shown are attracting and do have a very special flair which is typical for the artist. At the entrance there is a museum shop where you can buy lots of books about artists, paintings and art in general. You should take at least 2 hours to visit the museum. I think it is worth it to go there and to view the beautiful paintings! Lots of young people go there to enjoy the artists works, Afterwards you may have a coffee in one of the cafes near by.

Das Museum bietet eine spannende Begegnung mit Werk und Persönlichkeit des eigenwilligen Künstlers in der neu gestalteten Dauerausstellung "Horst Janssen - Neu entdeckt". Die Zeichnung als universelles Ausdrucksmittel des Menschen steht im Mittelpunkt unserer Ausstellungen. Neben der Kunst von Horst Janssen interessieren uns und unsere Gäste die klassischen und zeitgenössischen Strömungen dieser Gattung. Darüber hinaus untersuchen wir, wie beispielsweise digitale Werkzeuge die Zeichnung verändern können, was Zeichnung alles sein kann oder welches individuelle Verständnis Künstlerinnen und Künstler von ihr haben.

But the high degree of interactivity of exhibitions objects is amazing. You must touch and move everything to engage with exhibitions themes. Great place.

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.

What a great stop as you are walking around Bremerhaven. If you have an interest in military…read morehistory, this museum is a great stop. It's affordable, informational, and historical all at the same time. For 3 euros, you will be hard pressed to find as interesting of a stop in Bremerhaven. When I visited, it was a cool, rainy day and so I was the only person on the submarine. The people working there were friendly and clearly wanted me to enjoy the visit. While my German is not as good as it used to be, and their English was almost zero, they tried to point out as much as possible and I greatly appreciated it. Make sure you stop at the U-Boot Wilhelm Bauer, former U2540, on your Bremerhaven visit! You can get here by foot, bus or taxi.

It is a submarine and if you haven´t seen one you might like it. However, when we went the opening…read morehours were advertised as open until 18.00h but we were asked to leave at 17.40h. That was really rude and not fair, since they already took our money. Seemed like the staff didn´t want to work any more, wasn´t very friendly or motivated either. I advise all potential visitors to go early or not at all.

From the train station, it is a short walk to the museum, alternatively, a trip on the local buses would bring you nearby. The museum itself is of moderate size, several floors with varied exhibits, from old aged merchant shipping vessels to more modern sea faring vessels of warfare. Any review of this place would not be complete without mention of the U-boat parked outside the museum. Take a note though, admission to the U-boat is not included in the standard museum ticket (there was an alternative ticket which included it, or you can pay on getting on the U-boat). Reason for 4 stars is no photos allowed indoors
