The Landesmuseum Hannover is a state museum in Hanover which includes five different collections: archaeological, ethnographic, natural history, painting and numismatics. The collections are divided into three major sections: NaturWelten (Worlds of nature), MenschenWelten (Worlds of man) and KunstWelten (Worlds of art).

In the NaturWelten section, a unity between the living and the past is achieved through the combination of the greenhouses and the vegetable garden with natural history objects. This allows for an overall view of biodiversity. Dinosaurs, reptiles and amphibians illustrate natural history phenomena from the North Sea to the South Sea, such as the development of new animal species. The WasserWelten (Aquatic Worlds) also shows more than 200 species of aquatic animals. The theme of "evolution" also establishes a connection with the human world.

The MenschenWelten section shows people in their evolution. The cultural history of humanity is presented starting from the development of Homo sapiens to the present day. Archaeological finds provide insight into life in the area of today's Lower Saxony borders, from the Stone Age to the late Middle Ages. Ethnographic collections of non-European cultures are also presented.

The KunstWelten houses works from the Early Middle Ages to the early modern era (until around 1930), including one of the largest collections of medieval art in Germany with important altarpieces and sculptures. There are works by artists such as Lucas Cranach the Elder. Ä., Tilman Riemenschneider, Max Liebermann, Max Slevogt, Lovis Corinth and Paula Modersohn-Becker.
