Museums and worlds of discovery
"Tell me and I'll forget. Show me and I'll remember. Involve me and I'll understand." A wise piece of advice from the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius that Bremen has put into practice – in the museums that entertain as they educate and discovery centres that are more than just a fun day out. For the 'Knowledge Worlds' in Bremen and Bremerhaven the magic is in the mix – a wealth of information that is well explained and clearly presented.
Avant-garde and Old Masters, traditional customs, experimentation, ethnology, natural history – Bremen's museums cast their net far and wide.
