This is a great medium sized museum in the heart of Rostock. It has been recently renovated and seems like it is brand new. There are some great exhibits and it tells the story of the city. There is a new section with coins and art including the story of how Rostock lost its collection during the war and under the DDR. This area has english information available The Dutch art section is great and the lighting used to highlight the paintings is spectacular. In all museums I have visited i have never experienced the use of lighting to highlight a painting characteristics so well. It brings the art to life. Entrance is free and if you want to take pictures you can pay 3 euros. I was surprised how empty the museum was.

The amber museum is located about half an hour's drive from the city of Rostock. It is next to the monastery in Ribnitz, and is one of the largest exhibitions of amber in Europe. The main exhibition is located on the first floor. Excellent presentation with magnifying glasses places in front of pieces with small insects and plants. Upstairs it was possible to have a closer look on how amber can be polished etc.

I took this tour whilst on a driving tour of Germany and was interested in the history surrounding Peenemunde. I called Reiner to arrange my tour the day before and he gave me instructions on how to get to the meeting point which was very easily located. I was the only person on the tour so a bonus for me, we set off in his old VW which had a screen that showed where you were in real time and also where buildings etc were back in 1945. We went into the forest where the V2 rockets were tested which is something you cant do on your own due to it being a fenced off and restricted area with some chance of coming across unexploded bombs etc. We also took a look at a soon to be finished museum that the public cant go into yet and it was full of interesting things all connected to the rocket programme and I found it fascinating. Reiner was very knowledgeable of his subject and the whole tour was fascinating from start to finish, Reiner speaks good English and was easy to understand although I can speak some German he was easy to follow. If you are wanting to visit Peenemunde and not just see the power house museum make this a must do on your list. The tour took three hours which just flew by, I rate this as one of the best one to one tours I have done and would highly recommend it.

This is a really fascinating museum with information about the entire history of the region from prehistory, but the most interesting for me were the sections on the Middle Ages and more recent. Some beautiful works of art, and good detailed explanations.
