So of course we plan some time for the most important shopping trips but also to visit a museum. I enjoy visiting a museum because it’s always full of life and there is always a lot to do.

This museum is set in a park that houses pieces of the culture and history of the region of Bremen. It shows glass and silver pieces and other aspects of the life of the people of Bremen as well of their life during the middle ages. Since the museum is located in the park it’s especially nice during beautiful weather in the summer. Of course Bremen is not in Spain but even Germany has lovely summer to.

On the website I could find that it was accessible for disabled people and with a wheelchair. The museum itself as well as the shop are big enough for a wheelchair to enter. I think it’s always the best option to call up the museum to ask if it’s possible to enter without problems. The collection looked big enough to enter.

To enter you will have to pay an entrance fee of adult have to pay a fee of 9 euro’s. Children will have to pay 5 euro’s fee. The entrance prices are reasonable for the museum. There are a few expectations for certain other groups so it’s worth to visit and check the website for the museum if there are any special rates.

When you enter the museum you will walk upon the museum shop. Its a little shop where you can find several souvenirs and especially books about the history of Bremen. There were also postcards to buy which we did to send home. They weren’t anything special but it’s always nice to send some postcards to the people at home.

The museum has a big collection about the life of the people of Bremen how they used to life throughout the ages. The collection is separate into sections from the ages from the Middle Ages upon to the modern ages. You can see the weapons they had, the clothes they wore. The collection is set out beautifully and you have a clear and good view on the objects. Especially the glass collections were beautiful. The object was beautiful and extensive. There was a lot of focus on the shipping industry of the region.

There was a lot to been seen and it was as if every aspect of life was treated in this museum. From the simple objects for cooking to the clothes and the army as well as the shipping industry. There were special exhibitions and they also had a focus on children.

I think the staff at the museum were really friendly and helpful from the beginning. At the entrance they were helpful and we had an explanation of the museum as well as a map stating the areas. Throughout the museum are staff members ready to help and ready to answer any questions. They gave me a very pleasant feeling and you could tell that they enjoyed working at the museum because they walked around friendly.

There are toilets at this museum. I notice two at the entrance but there might be more in the museum. In the women toilet there is room where babies can be changed. Nearby is also a small restaurant where you can go for a drink and quick bite like a sandwich. Also in the museum are several seats to be found to take a rest.

Worth a visit?

It was a nice museum to visit and especially the staff where really friendly, polite and helpful. We got a explanation at the beginning and asked if everything was clear to us. The collection was extensive and interesting. We spend a good few hours here learning about the history of the region of Bremen and it was nice to see. It was worth the visit and I give thid museum four stars for its extensive collection and the helpful staff and therefore I would say to check it out when you are in the neighbourhood. The website might give you a good idea if it’s something for you.
