Curioseum
At the Curioseum, you can discover and marvel at what Hans Schlömer from Willingen collected, bought, and built over the course of his life. These are mostly curiosities from Germany and around the world, which have been transformed into an astonishing exhibition.
Covering 2.500 square meters, you'll find thousands of exhibits on two floors. The 650-meter-long, barrier-free tour takes visitors on a path full of educational and impossible things. From the sad remnants of Willingen's aviation industry to delicious canned monkey brains and the unique Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, there's something for everyone.
Visitors who are shaking their heads should take a second look here and there to perhaps understand the ideas and stories behind the exhibits. Otherwise, a guided tour of the Curioseum can also help shed some light on the subject.
Vintage car collection
At the Curioseum, you can view 50 vintage cars, 20 microcars (some of them bizarre), and vintage motorcycles. There are also vintage tractors from the 1920s onward, technical equipment, an extensive maritime exhibition, and the original Seehund-class submarine from World War II.
For example, enthusiasts can admire a beautiful Jaguar E-Type or an Austin Healey Sprite MK 1, which the owner even used to drive himself.
The tractors on display are partly restored, but some are still in their original, unused condition, providing an educational journey into the past of agriculture.
Panopticon: shrill - weird - rare
Numerous display cases offer original collector's flotsam and jetsam. Immerse yourself in a world full of curiosities where nothing seems impossible. The highlight for many visitors will likely be the lunar rover, even though it's certainly no longer roadworthy. Those who enjoy a scary experience will also find something to their liking at the Curioseum. In one section of the exhibition, visitors are accompanied by Terminator Schwarzenegger and other non-human mythical creatures. The word 'crazy' probably best describes it – fun for the whole family.
