European Hansemuseum

I think this museum is best experienced during the week when there are no crowds: 1. Take an edible before you get there 2.Buy your tickets but don't enter the museum yet 3. Wait in the lounge area, have some Apfelshorle, until you are good and ready. 4. Enter the museum. It's really trippy waiting in the glass are and then being plugged down into history. Very cool museum!!

Fantastic museum with multiple different "layers" of information, featuring everything from dress up to quantitative economical history (and if you want, graphs that show how the measurments of bricks changed in Lübeck from 1176 to 1285...). I only spent around 2.5 hours here in the main exhibit since we arrived pretty close to the closing time, but more time is needed to really grasp all of the information. Looking forward to coming back and picking another hanseatic city with my card, perhaps Visby:)

Extremely impressive museum with fully immersive experience and interactive facilities. Lively setups make you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. Easy to understand interactive screens with simple animations and multiple language to learn about Hanseatic history. Guests are spread out for comfortable viewing. Not a dull corner throughout the museum. Behind every door is a new surprise awaiting. Probably best museum I have visited in my lifetime. Highly recommend if you’re traveling in Lübeck.

If you visit Lübeck, start your trip here! The museum offers an accessible narrative of the rather complicated story of the Hansa and Lübeck. Using lot of technology you can spend hours in the exhibition listening to podcasts and read the texts. Children-friendly. The price-16 euro includes the visit to the Dominican monastery with life size creepy Dominicans. The museum shop is small but interesting. Also a coffeeshop. Strongly recommended.

Museum is exceptional. One of the best world museums we ever visited! Full immersion into Hansa times and life!

The museum is well structured and very informative. A lot can be learned about the Hansa, its history, impact, economy, and society. I liked the alternating types of galleries: themed gallery and object gallery. It is also a museum that thought about young visitors. The interaction with the tickets to unlock screens was fine at first but became a bit of a nuisance. The adjacent preserved monastery was beautifully conserved!

A very well done, modern museum that strikes a good balance between immersive and informative elements. We learned a lot about the history of the Hanse, including our kids who went with their well-done quiz booklet that helped them stay engaged. We generally enjoy museums, but can see how this is also a great place to start for folks (and kids!) who aren't too experienced with museum visits, given the engaging and vivid exhibition on display here.

Beautiful detailed history. Lots of understandable info, the devices with card readers were easy to use. No waiting than a normal payment. Very helpful polite personales. Free for students. Highly recommended.
