Landesmuseum by Colzy
The State Museum features an in-depth look at land history and its relations with Europe. It represents all aspects of art, culture, history and nature in Lower Saxony and Germany and even the historical building it is housed in is worth a look. My guidebook mentioned this land museum in Braunschweig is much better than its equivalent in Hanover and though I have never been to the latter, this one was really great and I reccomend it. And much bigger than I thought - you really need a couple of hours at least.
I found the inflationary notes really interesting - one was for 200 billon Deutschmarks!! The depiction of Braunschweig before and after the 'bombennacht' on 15th October 1944 were interesting although horrifying.The admission price is an affordable 2.50 Euro and it is open every day except for Monday with extended hours on Thursday evenings.
