Exhibitions, art, photography & museums in Hanover

Current photography and art exhibitions in museums, galleries and vernissages in Hanover

Hanover is a really exciting place for exhibitions and events, especially if you're looking for culture that inspires and moves. Here's your little guide to exhibitions in Hanover so you can get started right away! If you love modern and contemporary art, the Sprengel Museum Hannover is your place to be. Located in the middle of the Maschsee lake, it offers you changing exhibitions that often combine big names and strong themes. The "Elementarteile" exhibition is also still running and brings together painting, sculpture, photography and film: ideal if you want to wander through different art genres. The museum also regularly organizes events such as guided tours, discussions or workshops related to the exhibitions. You can find out what's coming up early on in our events calendar. If you fancy smaller, perhaps more surprising venues, check out the Kunstverein Hannover. It often shows works by local or lesser-known international artists, with creative mediation formats and often low admission fees. The August Kestner Museum is also worth a visit. It combines art and cultural history, often with exhibitions that are not "just for museum audiences", but also appeal to people who want to rediscover art. For people who are more interested in drawing, caricature or illustration, the Wilhelm Busch - Deutsches Museum für Karikatur & Zeichenkunst is an exciting place to visit. Very practical: It's worth checking our Hanover event calendar regularly, because some things only run for a short time and some exhibitions and events (e.g. special tours, workshops, opening hours) are surprising. Maybe you can plan an evening where you first go to an exhibition, then go out for a meal or to a bar - it'll be a really well-rounded cultural day! Even if the weather isn't playing ball, museums are often a great retreat. In short: Hanover offers you a fine mix of large museums with international highlights (Sprengel), smaller places with local flair and formats that you don't see every day. So grab your calendar, mark a few exhibitions and get going! Art can be lived and experienced in Hanover.
