Lower Saxony State Museum
The Lower Saxony State Museum Hannover on the Maschpark brings together several collections under one roof: the state gallery with paintings from the Middle Ages to the modern era, the archaeology department, ethnology, and the natural history section with its popular vivarium, home to live fish, reptiles and amphibians. This makes it one of the most varied museums in northern Germany and a firm favourite with families.
