Frommer's Review

The Landesmuseum is one of the most important regional museums in Germany. There are exhibits on northern European biology and geology, ethno-medicine and ethno-botany, and on the history of Lower Saxony from the Paleolithic Age up to the Middle Ages. The aquarium shows a world of exotic fish, amphibians, and reptiles. In the Kindermuseum, children can learn about prehistoric times with activities like grinding corn or working stone tools.

The museum's art gallery contains treasures spanning 7 centuries. A highlight is Meister Bertram von Minden's Passion Altar (1390-1400). You'll also see paintings by Rembrandt, Van Dyck, and Rubens (his Madonna), as well as the Four Times of Day series by Caspar David Friedrich.
