The Albert König Museum is an art museum in Unterlüß featuring changing exhibitions. It is named after the painter Albert König (1881–1944), for whom the museum once served as his residence.
The museum is one of the largest cultural history museums in Lower Saxony, presenting collections on the folk culture of eastern Lower Saxony, the history of the town of Celle, and the regional history of the former Kingdom of Hanover.
The heathland monasteries have existed for over 1,000 years, some still preserved in their original condition. They are located in Ebstorf, Medingen, Lüneburg, Wienhausen, and Walsrode. After the Reformation, they served as Protestant women’s convents, providing support and accommodation for the daughters of Lüneburg nobility.
The Berlin Airlift Memorial features an exhibition housed in three Nissen huts and two enclosed railway wagons. It provides information on the achievements of the United States Air Force and the Royal Air Force in Faßberg, as well as their collaboration with German workers from the German Civil Labour Organisation, who were involved in coal transport to Berlin.
The Open-Air Museum showcases 27 typical historical buildings and a collection of around 45,000 objects dating from 1600 to 1950. The exhibits illustrate rural work and daily life of the period.
Celle Castle was first mentioned in 1318 and is today considered one of the most beautiful castles of the House of Welf. It also houses the oldest still-active Baroque theater in Europe, complete with a permanent ensemble, as well as the Residence Museum, which presents the history of the Welfs and the Kingdom of Hanover.
