Germany museums travel guides

The Willy Brandt House on Königstraße tells the story of the Nobel Peace Prize winner's political life through a multimedia permanent exhibition. Admission to the exhibition is free, while guided tours and school visits are separately organised and priced by the Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt Foundation.

The Kunsthalle Bremen is an art museum run by the Kunstverein in Bremen, with a permanent collection display and a changing exhibition programme. This guide covers the museum's published 2026 exhibition dates, the ticket categories listed for it, the weekly opening pattern and a suggested time allowance.

The Roman-Germanic Museum in Cologne is built around a mosaic that was never moved. This guide explains its setting on Roncalliplatz beside the cathedral, what the stone monuments reveal about Roman Cologne, the wider monuments the museum protects, and which details to confirm on the official site before travelling.

The Albertinum is Dresden's museum for art from the Romantic period to the present, and it is a separate visit from the Old Masters Picture Gallery. This guide covers the two resident collections, ticket scope, opening hours, step-free entry and the practical rules that shape a visit.

The Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung has been closed for renovation and reopens on 18 November 2026 with the exhibition Athena, the Stage is Yours. This guide explains what the sculpture collection covers, how admission categories work, why the family ticket is not sold online, and how the museum relates to the Städel.

BallinStadt occupies the site of Hamburg's emigration halls at Veddeler Bogen 2, and it runs on two seasonal opening windows rather than one. The detail that decides most visits is the cash desk closing one hour before the exhibition, so a late arrival loses the final hour. This guide covers hours, closures, ticket categories, the two-house audio-guide route and the bundled harbour tour.
