A Glorious Tour Through the Ducal Residence
The permanent exhibition at the Schlossmuseum Braunschweig takes you into the history of the former Welfen residence. In the reconstructed residence castle, an art experience unfolds between original furniture, paintings, and art objects that impressively brings to life the courtly everyday life of the 19th century. Visitors experience not an abstract museum world but an authentic historical site with spatial impact, atmosphere, and art historical depth.

Palatial Rooms That Tell a Story
The throne room, audience room, study, and music room form the core of the presentation. These rooms are furnished with original furniture, portraits, and artisanal objects, referencing the reign of Duke Wilhelm from 1830 to 1884. This creates a dense exploration of works, where painting, interior art, and courtly representation merge into a vivid narrative.

Between Museum Education and Aesthetic Experience
An audio guide and multimedia stations deepen the tour and open the view for high-level cultural education. Additionally, the museum regularly offers special exhibitions, lectures, guided tours, and special events. Those who visit the Schlossmuseum encounter not just historical objects but a careful curation that translates the past into precisely staged present.

The Place Itself as an Exhibit
The exhibition is also enhanced by its architectural framework: The Schlossmuseum is located in the north wing of the reconstructed residence castle at Schlossplatz 1 in Braunschweig. After visiting the museum, the ascent to the Quadriga on the castle roof is worthwhile, offering a wide view over the city and rounding off the visit with a strong spatial impression.

This permanent exhibition connects art history, residence culture, and sensory spatial perception to create a visit that evokes both knowledge and wonder. Those wanting to experience Braunschweig's court history, courtly interiors, and museum staging in an authentic atmosphere should not miss this tour.
