A seminal approach to make something educative and telling out of one's peculiar and rather shady colonial past: Structured according to continents (and world eras) the Bremen 'Overseas Museum' gathers and presents objects of various fields, be it cultural-ethnographical, technical, everyday consumptive goods, pieces of art, artisanal works, or a vast and dashing number of taxidermists' padded exotic and partly huge animal preparations, often being presented in beautiful naturalist panoramic dioramatic settings. Not missing are tents, shrines and even one Egyptian mummy. The building itself is highly impressive, in the rational Hanseatic way of the later 19th century: Symmetrical, lightful, with enchanting details (for example in the artisanal metalworks). The concept innitialy tended to be encyclopedical and haptical but has been mixed with more social-scientific elements over the last decades. For example, some documentaries on young people from Africa on posters, or videos (such as the worth noticing one staging Sitting Bull's grand-grandson) enlarge the exhibition - which leads to a certain arbitrariness/fuzziness of the concept as a whole. The Übersee-Museum is a complex, affluent storage of human knowledge and (cultural) history. Its aim is global, still, if not even universal. We know well (today) that this goal is unachievable. And so does this museum. What does it actually do? It inspires, and most thankfully avoids the qualitative ranking of eras and world-regions, which here means: It rejects the classification of human beings as superior or inferior, as good or bad. It is stimulating our individual curiosity and it lets us have a glance at what mankind did, has done, is doing - and maybe will one distanced day be able to do. An inspirational archieve for everyone who wants to...

Loved visiting this museum as a kid. Its massive and varied collection of artefacts continues to fascinate. However, on my recent visit after many years, I was deeply disappointed by the lack of context on the colonial origins and histories of items. Some displays were quite outdated, providing stereotypical descriptions of a homogenous Asian or African ‘other’, while some of the information provided, such as depicting the impact of colonization through the clothing of Herero women while failing to mention the genocide against their people, left me aghast. Various beautiful objects in the permanent collection were also covered in a thick layer of dust. It’s clear that the museum, like many others, urgently needs to confront its colonial legacy and review/reimagine the way it contextualizes exhibits. I'm hopeful that the ongoing renovation might contribute...

It's a very interesting museum, we had a great time there! There are 3 stores, with different zones: Africa, Asia ( China, Japanese), Amerik, the underwater world, and a lot of others. There are a lot of animals there, histories, historical facts, interactive places, and interesting for adults and kids. We spent 4 hours there and it wasn't enough. The restaurant at the museum , near the entrance is very delicious and fast cooked. The one more +, it's located 3 min from the railway station, so it was easy for us to come there by train from another town. It was a Saturday, but there was not a lot of people, so it was comfortable to be there. Highly recommend and wish everybody to see it
