    Fantastic museum! Highly recommend a visit. My kids appreciated the hands-on activities...and I loved the original pieces of art created by the author!

    Nice cosy atmosphere but i wish there would be a bit more to see and the films would be subtitled. Also many things are left out, like everyone would have read every newspaperarticle decades ago and will know why this and why that. I left with many questions.

    Unfriendly ticketing staff and the ticket is also too much for a tiny house.

    I came there actually for Bryan Adams' photos exhibition. Not far from the Holstentor (ca. 1 km). Recommended for visitors who likes smaller, cozy, and more personal museum. The exhibition rooms consisted of (1) space of retelling the life of Günter Grass (2) garden, exhibits his sculpture/visual arts (I found it cool) (3) a 'transition room' (where we should put our jacket in a cabinet) (4) a room of his graphic design/literary works/his tools (true artists beyond borders) (5) 2nd floor, where Bryan Adams' exhibition is taking place (until 7.1.2024) The entrance ticket, personally, was quite pricy (€8) without discount (I got the student discount though, so it's fine). But, you could visit a second museum (valid for 3 days) for half-price. So, better plan it. Plus, the personals there were quite friendly.

    A must see for fans of Günter Grass or literature in general. You can also find a Nobel medallion there.

  • 5/5 Bettina M. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Exciting! Powerful new permanent exhibition "This is Grass". The life and work of the writer, sculptor, graphic artist and painter are told. On display: many originals, including the Olivetti on which he wrote "The Tin Drum" and the Nobel Prize certificate. Plus art, interactive stuff, videos. A must! Not just for fans. (Original) Spannend! Starke neue Dauerausstellung "Das ist Grass". Erzählt werden Leben und Werk des Schriftstellers, Bildhauers, Grafikers und Malers. Zu sehen: viele Originale, u.a. die Olivetti, auf der er "Die Blechtrommel" schrieb, und die Nobelpreisurkunde. Dazu Kunst, Interaktives, Videos. Ein Muss! Nicht nur für Fans.
