The hometown of Wagner and Bach boasts many interesting and unique museums. One of them is the Panometer, which hosts temporary exhibitions dedicated to various subjects. For example, here one can see firsthand how the Titanic might look at the bottom of the ocean, or explore the Great Barrier Reef. A full immersion into the atmosphere is achieved thanks to lighting effects and appropriate music, which is another attractive feature of the place. The Kunstkraftwerk is an interesting museum for connoisseurs of contemporary art, and for those wishing to get to know the history of World War II, the Museum im Stasi-Bunker is a must-have.
The Museum für Völkerkunde stands out among other cultural institutions. Here, tourists have an excellent opportunity to get acquainted not only with local but also with other cultures. Its exhibits include household items, jewelry, and artifacts of different peoples, lots of stuffed animals, as well as musical instruments on which representatives of different cultures play.
