The Overbeck Museum preserves the heritage of the Bremen Art Dynasty, while the Universum Science Museum (founded in 2000) offers interactive displays for families and school groups. Among the more exotic sites are the Bremen Ethnographic and Natural Science Museum, the Hospital Museum in the building of the old psychiatric clinic and specialized collections such as the Spicarium, dedicated to the history of shipbuilding. Nearby in Bremerhaven is the German Museum of Shipping (founded in 1971) with marine artifacts and models, and in neighboring cities you can find themed museums of transport and technology, which are conveniently included in the extended route.
The museum program of Bremen is dynamic: temporary exhibitions and imported projects are regularly opened here, and large venues change expositions by seasons, offering retrospectives and curatorial projects. Universum is known for its interactive temporary exhibitions, Weserburg regularly shows contemporary artists’ projects and international collections, and local history and ethnographic halls from time to time organize thematic exhibitions dedicated to regional history and culture. Many museums participate in joint projects and accept imported collections from other European collections, so you should always follow the poster.
