The Herrenhausen Palace Museum offers an in-depth insight into the Baroque era and the history of Hanover. In the historic rooms of the palace, important exhibits are displayed that illustrate the cultural development of the region.
Herrenhausen Palace was built in the 17th century as the summer residence of the Guelphs. Destroyed during the Second World War, it was rebuilt between 2011 and 2013 and has since served as the home of the museum and a scientific conference centre.
The museum presents 900 square metres of baroque works of art, historical documents and personalities such as Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Electress Sophie. A special highlight is the original bust of Leibniz, which is on display in the museum.
Current closure
Due to renovation work, the Museum Schloss Herrenhausen is expected to remain closed until June 2025. During this time, the exhibition rooms will be modernised and expanded to offer visitors an even more impressive experience in the future.
