The listed Oldenburg gabled house from 1773 forms the setting for our permanent exhibition. Across two floors you discover completely furnished workshops, shops and living spaces of the region.
From the Burg Pharmacy and the bakery to the watchmaker's workshop, all the way to the blacksmith and thatching: every room tells its own story — authentic, tangible, unforgettable.
Selected highlights — there is more to discover.
Each year we dedicate ourselves to new aspects of the cultural history of our region. In the modern annexes you encounter fascinating details of crafts and everyday history, regional peculiarities and inspiring biographies.
Scientifically grounded, yet accessible to all: our special exhibitions complement the permanent exhibition with perspectives found in no textbook.
