Discover the past: tour of the Bomann Museum in Celle!

In the city of Celle, an exciting tour of Karl Thun's Bomann Museum will be offered on Sunday, September 14th at 11:30 a.m. Everything revolves around the topics of civic culture and heather painting. This event offers an insight into the lives of people 150 years ago in the Lüneburg Heath and addresses everyday tasks such as cooking, cleaning and sleeping. Entry is free, but entry to the museum is required, where visitors can learn a lot about the history of the region. How Celle press reports, the participants will be taken on a journey through time through the Low German hall house and the town houses of Celle.

The Bomann Museum itself is one of the third largest museums in Lower Saxony and its exhibition highlights the folklore and regional history of the region. A chronological tour takes visitors through the city's history, while a film offers an overview of the Celle district. What is particularly exciting is the staging of typical works in the museum, which are shown in a Low German farmhouse. Visitors can experience what life was like for farmers back then, characterized by hard physical work and dependence on their employers museums.de communicates.

Insights into times gone by

In the Bomann Museum, guests can also expect a “bee room” where traditional activities such as threshing, cooking and washing laundry are vividly staged. The hearth with an open fire – the heart of the hall house – gives the tour a special charm. In addition, dishes from the 19th century are served in the dining area in the museum, inviting you to travel back in time. The private lives of citizens in the Biedermeier period are impressively depicted in living rooms, a salon and the bedroom.

In addition, the museum also addresses important social aspects. The biographies of Celle merchants, craftsmen and the working conditions of servants and factory children provide a deep insight into the social structures of the time. In Celle, civil associations founded social institutions that still make up significant parts of the community today. How Niedersachsen.de reports, migration also played a decisive role, which was given a new dimension by, among other things, Huguenot religious refugees and after the Second World War.

Lower Saxony, and with it the Bomann Museum, offers a variety of cultural experiences and enables people to immerse themselves deeply in the history and culture of the region. The museum not only presents the painting of the heath, but also brings to life the emotional side of life at that time. Visitors should definitely not miss this unique experience!
