GRIMMWELT Kassel

Very good museum in Kassel, with a lot of different installations that are interactive for children and adults, with informations displayed both in german and English. The main installation combines different elements and invites you to emerge and understand in a very nice way. Also, shout out to the museum staff who are super friendly and helpful, during the visit I had a great chat about the exposition and learned curious facts with them. I really liked and definitely recommend the visit!!

We arrived in mid afternoon. The museum is lovely and also a very cozy cafe. It is an interactive museum which was wonderful. Should not be missed if you have an interest in culture! Salute to the Brothers Grimm!

A great place to spend the afternoon with the family. The museum is divided into two main sections: 'Imaginarium' and the 'GRIMMWELT'; the first is a complete interactive tour of wooden games and interesting classical figures. It is highly recommended for a family visit, children will surely love it! On the other hand, the 'GRIMMWELT' amazes with the extensive collection of pieces they have on the life and work of the Grimm brothers. Curious facts, signed letters and photographs take up the first part of the tour, then it ends with an interactive section where it is even possible to ask the classic question: "Mirror, mirror, who is the fairest?". At the end, do not forget to visit the terrace and walk around the museum, because from there it is possible to see the famous Hercules of Kassel, and enjoy a beautiful view or sunset.

Pure magic! This museum is fun! I’m a sucker for a creepy fairytale but that’s not all you get . This is an interactive experience- all of your senses will light up. Thank you!

Great museum about Grimm brothers. If you’re a fan of fairy tales this is the place to be visited.

How nice this museum...every letter of the alphabet stands for a different topic. Also the architecture of the building is worth seeing and it is very interactive to participate! Very friendly staff!

The permanent displays focused a LOT on the German language and the Grimm Brothers contribution to it. Despite a rather bland topic, the displays were neat, and I appreciate the German language a little more from it! There was also an area for the fairy tales, and a "forest," more geared towards kids. There was a special exhibition when I was there called "Imaginarium" - the extraordinary world of Czech traveling and puppet theatre. This was actually pretty AMAZING! I've never seen things like this in a museum, they were interactive, and it really made me feel like a big, happy kid, turning all the wheels, handles, and levers and seeing what each display did! This could be a very popular museum by itself and I hope it finds a permanent home! In any case, visit Grimmwelt while Imaginarium is there, if you can! Finally, the cafe was EXCELLENT! Lots of kuchen (cakes) to choose from and, quite possibly, the best cappuccino I've ever had! I tried to tell the barista, but I don't think she understood my English. Hopefully, she'll read this!

Can use parking lot in front of main door. Quite beautiful surrounded view of Kassel due to be located on the hill. Lots visual things to see. Walk down central huge park from here.

The main museum about the brothers Grimm in Germany. It's very well done with kind staff. It's so interesting to learn how connected they were to the German language as they were creating the dictionary. There is also a nice cafe with a good menu and lovely views of Kassel city. Highly recommended!

Unfitting space, boring, bad for kids. Everything you would in a museum with access the Grimms. This is not

We thought this was the Grimm museum which it was but not the type of museum I thought I was going to see. I was hoping for a Grimm museum featuring the tales they shared with the world, not a Grimm museum featuring their achievement in making the first German dictionary that standardized the German alphabet. Considering most of it was in German, it was pretty boring for me. Nonetheless it was a very beautiful space. There was a temporary exhibit featuring some of the tales but geared at kids. Definitely enjoyed the views on the roof of the building. The cafe was irritatingly slow service wise. We waited well over 10 minutes and were completely ignored. It was obvious that we clearly didn't match their idea of paying guests so they skipped over us and instead helped three groups that came after us. We got up and left.
