An entire world full of history
The real world of Lübeck's museums is the historic old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is where all the museums are located in close proximity to each other.
In January 2006, the Museum Association was founded, uniting Lübeck's museums under one roof in a cultural foundation: Kunsthalle St. Annen and Museum St. Annen, Museum Behnhaus Drägerhaus, Museum für Natur und Umwelt, Industriemuseum Historische Werkstatt Herrenwyk, Museum Holstentor, Buddenbrookhaus and Günter Grass Haus, St. Katharinenkirche and the Burgkloster with its Archaeological Museum and Ethnological Museum.
As the history of the former 'capital' of the Hanseatic League is also European history, the world of the Hanseatic League can be experienced in the European Hansemuseum, which also includes the Burgkloster.
Lübeck's museums can be explored entirely on foot, thanks to the short distances and the thematic diversity of the museums.
