Things to do in Bremen, State of Bremen: The Best Art Museums
The second most populous town in North Germany, Bremen brings the high-tech, science and space industries together beneath a truly metropolitan backdrop. In a city where innovation, beauty and sophistication meet, it's impossible not to feel the life force. In this 1,200-year-old Hanseatic city, visit the Schlachte Promenade on the River Weser, the full-sized Columbus Space Module of the International Space Station and the Universum Science Center. Oh, and "Hanseatic" refers to an alliance of trading cities in the 13th-17th centuries. But you probably knew that.

I was there with some friends of me because they know Phil Porter for his photgraphs. Make sure to check out his great pictures on philporter.de The Salon Obscura which Phil and his team had build is a real adventure and a little escape from the reality. Hidden in the heard of the city is this lovely handmade place full of obscurities, strange stories, a maze and lots of fun obstacles. Basicaly it's an exhibition of the unique photographies he did, but you have find your way through the hotel corridors to see all the great pictures! In my opinion it is a place you can't find enywhere else. Go there, getting lost and leave some money for postcards or posters to support there work. We had to wait a few minutes outsides because you can only go in with 4 people at a time. So bring some time and have a strange little journey.

Kunsthalle Bremen Only a few minutes away from the market place is the Kunsthalle Bremen. Over the course of its 180 year history, it has developed into a museum with an international reputation. In 1823, 34 art-loving citizens established the Kunstverein Bremen [Bremen Arts Society] which still runs the institution as a private supporting organisation today, sponsored by regular subsidies from the Bremen municipality. The collection of paintings centres on French and German art of the nineteenth and twentieth century. Along with other European works of the fifteenth and nineteenth century, they fill the gallery on the upper floor. Special highlights are the many paintings by Paula Modersohn-Becker, Max Beckmann, Lovis Corinth, Max Liebermann, and Eugène Delacroix. The Department of Prints and Drawings holds about 200,000 sheets, including hand drawings, aquarelles, and printed graphs of the fifteenth to twentieth century, and is thus one of the major institutions of its kind in Europe. Sculptures, including ones by Auguste Rodin, are presented in the Large Gallery on the ground floor. On the top floor an exclusive artwork by John Cage is exhibited.

What a terrific place! Here, you can experience the change in painting: from the old masters through impressionism to the 'Klassische Moderne'. We were very impressed by the beauty of the building and the various halls

I wasn't especially interested in the modern material that's there--although I can see others would be. It is very well done. However, they have a super collection of Reformation art and objects including Lucas Cranach's paintings of Martin Luther and Katerina von Bora. Wonderful! That by itself is worth the price of admission.

This modern gallery full of delights is in a wonderful setting of rebuilt Hanseatic buildings - connected to a reconstructed 17th century merchant's house which embodies the spirit of Bremen. Ticket covers both exhibits
