The Überseemuseum (Overseas Museum) is just around the corner from the Bremen Central Train Station. There's usually an exhibition going on but you have to pay extra besides the regular entrance fee to see them. When I went there there was a great Japan exposition,...More

Varied exhibits

We visited on a wet Sunday afternoon mainly to get out of the rain, we were pleasantly surprised by how the many exhibits captured our children’s imagination (12 and 10). There’s plenty to see and it’s set out in an interesting way.

Big Museum--Curious Exhibits

With a ground floor collection of mostly Asian artifacts, this museum has a curious assemblage of a helter-skelter of objects and displays. There is sometimes a lack of objectivity in the descriptions. The stuffed animals (once living) may put off some museum goers. It appears...More

Good exhibits but slightly preachy

The museum has a good selection of exhibits from Oceania, Asia and some from Africa. The Asian display is a mix of religious, grave and everyday objects. The top floor has a number of displays and invites you to feel guilty about refugees and climate...More
