Visit a museum

In winter, a visit to a museum offers not only cozy warmth but also an exciting break from the cold weather. Modern museums are much more than just collections – they are interactive experience places for young and old. In Brandenburg, there are about 400 museums. You can find art, technology, curiosities, and things that are unique to Brandenburg.
A visit to the museum is therefore the perfect opportunity to make the winter day varied and inspiring.
