Hannover History Museum

Still mostly under construction. But currently there's a section about the English connection and some colonial history.

Most information is now also in English. Rightfully so of course, since it's mostly about England/Bristol.

I'm not sure about the design decision to 'pack' a lot of the pieces.

Hannover history museum is currently being renovated so I believe the first floor’s almost half the section was closed as of November 2019.
The collection itself was mediocre at best. Description seems to be entirely in German so as a tourist the most you can do is “look” at those pieces. And honestly the museum seemed dead and empty.

From my experience, the most interesting room’s pieces weren’t allowed to be photographed so that was bit of a bummer.
Overall this museum isn’t something you really have to visit during your stay in Hannover hence I wouldn’t recommend anyone to actually pay and go in.

Yes perhaps on Fridays when it’s free you might want to casually check it out before dinner or something since it’s centrally located.

I didn't like this museum. The exhibition is very small and not very interesting (see photos)
You will not see many exhibits here. There are just the dates with explanation.
Everything is in German language. I think it should be translated and given also in English, for tourists.
I have been here on Friday, when the entrance is free

An interesting concept, with beautiful pieces presented in different rooms. Unfortunately, all explanations were written in German, without English alternative - making it a bit difficult for tourists to go through every deeply.
Still, the staff was nice and helpful!

Nothing open. Plus no English translation anyway which is ridiculous as the first King George of england is from there, you would have thought that the museum board would have English translation as this area of Germany could be a Mecca for lovers of the royal family.

Only the ground floor exhibits are available at this time. The rest of the museum are under renovation till 2020.

Probably a nice museum when not undergoing renovation. Only three exhibits open: Antique Coaches, the Atomic protest movement, and Play Mobile. Also helps if you speak German (I don't) because all of the information is in German.
