The three State Museums in Brunswick

The Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum and the Staatliches Naturhistorisches Museum originated from the collections of the Welf dukes of Brunswick and were first opened to the public in 1754, making them some of the oldest museums in Europe. The Braunschweigisches Landesmuseum was initiated by Brunswick citizens and opened at the end of the 19th century. In 2007 the three formerly independent museums were joined together and formed the 3Landesmuseen.
