About

The EXPO Museum Hannover, officially known as the EXPOSEEUM, is located at Expo Plaza 11 and commemorates Germany’s only World Exposition—EXPO 2000. Founded in 2001 by former Expo staff, the museum preserves the legacy of the 153-day event that welcomed 155 nations and millions of visitors. Its 500-square-meter exhibition space features original pavilion models, photographs, films, and over 1,000 guest gifts donated by participating countries. Highlights include a chess set from Kyrgyzstan and a ship model from Malaysia. The museum also documents the evolution of global expos, with displays on subsequent events in Japan, China, and Korea. After a temporary closure in 2019, EXPOSEEUM reopened in 2025 with refreshed exhibits and guided tours of the former Expo grounds. Run by a dedicated volunteer association, it offers a nostalgic and educational experience that celebrates cultural exchange, innovation, and international cooperation. The museum remains a vital link to Hanover’s global moment on the world stage.
