Übersee Museum

Bremen City


A treasure trove of objects from around the globe, organised by continent around two large, sunny atriums. There's everything from a Mongolian yurt and a Japanese teahouse (replete with koi pond) to an Amazon River canoe and jewellery from the Maasai people. A separate space hosts rotating exhibits. An audioguide in English (€3) is available for the permanent collection. The museum is located right by the train station.
