Genesis

The museum was built between 1998 and June 2005. The construction costs amounted to 20 million euros. It consists of an ensemble of four buildings: the classical Quistorp - building ( former city school), the Grey Monastery (former poorhouse and retirement home ), the brick building of the Library of the Gothic Franciscan monastery and the museum road. The ensemble also includes a monastery garden and a meadow with Scandinavian boulders.

In Croy - Hall, you can visit the four meters by seven meters wide, unique Croy rug, an elaborate testimony of the Reformation. Also the development of the Ernst- Moritz- Arndt- University is documented with numerous exhibits.
