Germany: Lower Saxony State Museum

On Friday I have been to Hanover to visit the Lower Saxony State Museum.

The Lower Saxony State Museum was founded in 1856. First known as Museum of Art and Science and later called Museum of the Province of Hanover, it got its current name in 1950. Its collections focus on archaeology, art, coins, ethnology and natural history.

Actually I went to the museum to see the new big special exhibition Saxones, but unfortunately they did not have cards for the exhibition. Luckily I was still able to get some new postcards showing paintings by Caspar David Friedrich from the museum's collection.
