A place for the whole family, it’s suitable no matter you are kids or adults. You have lots of interesting things to interact with and exercise your brain. On the wall there’re an caricature exhibition of Jean Bosc. I really love his humor. We spent almost three hours there and still not finish all the floors. Definitely we will come back again.

The place is situated in the middle of the city. You can reach it easyly by bus or by feet. It is the oldest botanic-garden in Europe. It is a must on a buckle list of Gießen. When you are in town for other sights, you can have a break in the green and relax for a while.

I was recommended this museum by a friend and I am so grateful for that! The place is inspiring to say the least. Very well maintained and you get a real glimpse of the development of chemistry and science during the 1840s. All the works of Justus Liebig is clearly explained including the Liebig barrel and the condensors of course. It is really to be appreciated that the way the explanations are displayed, for any person with some background in science, the whole picture unfolds in front of you! Not to miss the awesome feeling that persons like Erlenmeyer and Kekule and others have used the lab and the classroom here during their life time! There are explanations in each of the rooms in English as well and so unlike some of the other museums, it's a pleasure to visit this place for non German speakers as well.

In the middle of the Hessian City of Gießen, this architectural monument is placed. Not good looking, but everybody knows it.
