Visitors can be fascinated by the exciting history of mankind. Archaeological objects take visitors on an expedition from the Stone Age to the late Middle Ages. How our ancestors developed over the centuries can be clearly seen there. The ethnological collection shows non-European cultures that came into focus with the discovery of the "New World" in the 15th century.

ArtWorlds

Paintings and sculptures from the Middle Ages to the 20th century can be viewed in the KunstWelten. These include one of the largest collections of medieval art in the whole of Germany and numerous works by the "impressionist triumvirate": Liebermann, Slevogt, Corinth.

In addition to the permanent exhibitions, the museum regularly hosts special exhibitions for all age groups. The Landesmuseum Hannover also features a café with a picturesque courtyard and a museum shop.
