Access for wheelchair users
As the Dom-Museum is located in listed premises, it is unfortunately only partially accessible without barriers. Barrier-free access is possible to exhibition rooms 5-8, i.e. also to the area for special exhibitions (How to get there). However, an appointment is definitely required for admission (3347142 or info@dommuseum-bremen.de).
To enable visitors who cannot climb stairs to take a virtual tour of the entire museum, a picture book is available for audio tour (complete reading sample). The audio guide is free of charge for the severely disabled. Of course, they can also take the virtual tour spontaneously.

General information
Über 30.000 Besucher – in Spitzenzeiten sogar 50.000 – finden sich jährlich im Dom-Museum ein. Hier erwartet sie ein reicher Schatz an mittelalterlichen Funden aus den Gräbern der Bremer Erzbischöfe. Es handelt sich um Silber- und Goldgerät sowie wertvolle Seidentextilien, die bis zu 900 Jahre in den Bischofsgräbern gelegen haben und noch heute ihre Schönheit und ihren Glanz bewahren. Die Textilforschung bezeichnete diese Reste von seidenen Bischofsgewändern bei ihrer Auffindung in den 70-er Jahren als sensationell. Außerdem werden die kürzlich freigelegten mittelalterlichen Wandmalereien, das historische Altargerät des Doms und die wertvollen Gemälde, allen voran ein lebensgroßer „Schmerzensmann“ von Lucas Cranach d. Ä. gezeigt und erläutert.
Group tours

Audio guide
In the Dom-Museum, visitors have the opportunity to receive detailed explanations of all important museum exhibits by means of an audio guide. All you have to do is type in a number and you will hear explanations of a total of 22 museum objects via earphones. The whole thing is still only available in German and English, but there are no limits to the possibilities for expansion with explanations in other languages or even with films.
Visit the Dom-Museum once again and let the audio guide lead you individually.

Tourist highlights
Bible Garden - On the south side of the cathedral is the Bible Garden, where you can view plants of the Bible and monastic medicine. Like an oasis, the Bible Garden offers peace and quiet in the midst of the metropolitan hustle and bustle.
In the summer months from April to October, the cathedral also offers you two special sights:
Tower ascent - the south tower can be climbed via 265 steps. Not only does this offer a wonderful view over the old town, you also have the opportunity to see one of the cathedral bells up close.
Bleikeller (Lead cellar) - In the 18th century, to great astonishment, human corpses were discovered in a crypt of the cathedral, mummified by desiccation. The so-called lead cellar mummies are fascinating to this day and make us aware of the finiteness of all earthly life.
