Painting from Giorgione to Rembrandt
The Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum is one of the oldest museums in Europe and houses a collection of European significance. The painting gallery is particularly famous for works by Vermeer, Rembrandt, Rubens, and Giorgione. This tour focuses on paintings that create an extraordinary exhibition atmosphere through light, materiality, and psychological presence. The collection dates back to Duke Anton Ulrich of Brunswick-Lüneburg, who laid a historically significant foundation for art during the Baroque period.

Applied Arts as a sensuous art experience
The collections of Applied Arts are equally fascinating: furniture, enamel work, majolica, and East Asian artworks unfold a dense cultural narrative in the museum space. This demonstrates how curating individual objects forms a coherent educational picture. In the HAUM, materiality, craftsmanship, and courtly representation come together directly and deepen the aesthetic experience in the museum.

Sculptures in dialogue with space and light
The sculpture collection complements the panorama of major art genres and makes visible how body, surface, and spatial effects interact in museum practice. The house has one of the most significant art collections in Germany with around 4,000 works spanning 3,000 years of art history; the highlights of the sculpture collection are explicitly emphasized as part of the tour in the program text. This creates a compact, intensive art experience that combines art historical education and sensual perception.
