Hardly ten minutes on foot from Prinzipalmarkt, Aasee is a 40-hectare man-made lake beginning on cusp of the old town and continuing southwest for over two kilometres. The lakefront is cushioned by a broad band of inviting parkland, laid with lawns, trees and public art, and travelled by cyclists, joggers and strolling families. There are restaurants and cafes at regular intervals and a raised terrace in the modern complex on the north shore, where you can also hire a pedal boat for self-navigated trip around the lake. At this spot you’ll find the jetty for SOLAARIS, a solar-powered boat that ferries people from the city centre to the Allwetterzoo on the west shore.

Art Museum Pablo Picasso, also known as Kunstmuseum Pablo Picasso, is a must-visit for fans of the iconic artist. Housed in an 18th-century building in Muenster's city center, this museum boasts a vast collection of Picasso prints and frequently hosts temporary exhibitions featuring works by other renowned artists like Chagall and Warhol. The museum opened in the 1990s and offers visitors the opportunity to admire some of Picasso's most famous pieces.
Beautiful Chagall exhibit with sketches and finished works alike. We came on a Saturday but it wasn't too crowded. There are a few benches to sit on for tired visitors. The toilets are clean. Would love to visit here again in the future.

Art Museum Pablo Picasso has a large collection of Picasso prints, more than any other museum. Beautiful building, friendly staff. If you don’t speak German, I recommend taking advantage of the free audio guide since none of the didactics are translated in English (my reason for rating this fine museum with 4 stars and not 5). We visited Münster on over the New Year’s holiday, so the coffee shop was closed, too bad.

My expectations weren't right. I though Pablo Picasso was a painter. This however was mostly a picture-museum. They reflected experiences of wartime. Also, there were paintings. Mostly, the pictures were also accompanied with a tour. I enjoyed my stay in this museum.

Mostly a photo album of Picasso, his family, and friends—images you can easily find online. Very few artworks. All texts are in German, and the audio guide is overly focused on biography. Not engaging.

Very nice prints & photos of Picasso and Matisse’s life, other artists are also showcased. They have an audio tour they give you a device for that can be played in English, and it takes you through the photos and art displayed. Very informative and whimsical! They also had a nice gift shop and it looks like it’s connected to a nice shopping mall as well. The cafe looked very cute and looked like it had good selection.

Erbdrostenhof is a stunning baroque mansion in Muenster, built between 1753 and 1757 by the renowned architect Johann Conrad Schlaun. This three-winged palace is part of the city's baroque island and was commissioned by the Erbdrosten of Munster. Despite its limited floor space, the mansion boasts an imposing design. Today, it has been transformed into a museum and stands as one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture in Muenster.
Erbdrostenhof is meaningful for me. Munster was a promised land of grand skills.

Haus Rüschhaus is a charming baroque-style house museum located just 10 kilometers away from two castles that belonged to the von Droste-Hulshoff family, including the residence of the famous German poet Annette von Droste-Hulshoff. While it was closed during a visit due to Covid, the garden was still open for strolling and features beautiful statues and an old sundial.
I only visited the gardens. It was very beautiful and gives a nice idea of how this small place must have been in earlier times. It's quite secluded but still easy to find and arrive with the car, bike, or on foot. There are some beautiful statues in the garden and an old sundial. I couldn't read the time as the sun wasn't really up and the weather was overcast, but it was still a pleasant experience.

Excellent stop for a short cycling ride in the outskirts of Münster. One can bring a picnic blanket and some snacks to have a good meal in the garden of the House. There is a little museum and a toilette. It was the late house of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, a famous German poet.

Castle
Schloss Münster, also known as Furstbischofliches Schloss Münster, is a grand historic mansion originally built as a nobleman's home and later used as a residence for a Duke-Bishop. Constructed in the Baroque style between 1767 and 1787, it now serves as a university building owned by the University of Munster. Visitors can explore the palace and its surroundings, including the impressive tower offering stunning views of the city and surrounding gardens.
Just a pretty view. Free activity to just look at the castle, but don’t expect to look at the old things inside the castle. Nowadays is just a beautiful university. The only activity you can do here is walking through the beautiful botanical garden behind it

Beautiful castle with a lovely little botanical garden behind it. Sadly, it was difficult to get a good view of the castle because of several party tents and a construction lot in front of it - seems like a waste of the area's potential when there was a huge empty parking lot next to it they could have used instead..

Schloss Münster is now home to the local University. For this reason, there are not many objects to visit there (to find out something about its history, you need to go to the 'Stadtmuseum'). Nevertheless, the building itself as well as the surroundings are very nice. The Promenade, for example, is one of the most popular walking areas in Münster. It's definitely worth spending some time there during the weekend.

Münsterland, located in and around the city of Münster, is renowned for its stunning castles. The region's flat terrain meant that these castles lacked natural defenses, leading to the construction of moats for protection. Despite their original purpose, these castles now stand as beautiful architectural marvels, adding to the area's allure.

It’s a must have seen botanical garden. Very tidy. They have worked a lot on it. There are many and many and many plants. If you want to visit it properly to see everything and learn and read, then maybe you need three hours. If you just want to pass by you half an hour. If you want to make a photo shoot inside, then you definitely need two hours. Everything looks great and when you turn your camera, it’s always best you can also do your wedding photography or a couple photography at there because the location is great if you have come to Minster and Love Nature you have to see this place definitely

Wonderful experience. I visited on a cloudy day, and it was still beautiful. You can go around its gardens for free and visit the museum inside the main building (which I let for another day). The gardens are well cared for, and the paths are easy even in a rainy/wet setting. The gardens and the exterior of the palace are relatively accessible, but there are stairs to enter the museum and the restaurant. I haven't seen an accessible entrance for either, so it might be useful to call in advance and ask about it.
Lukas G — Google review
A modest museum with beautiful gardens, which are spoilt by noisy audio-visual nonsense created by talentless individuals, who have regrettably been invited by the curators to install their pieces of mind-numbing political activism. This frankly looks ridiculous in the home of Droste, whose well of creativity sprung from a fierce intellect. The work of lazy art from less than talented individuals looks shabby next to hers. Not sure what the "When we are gone, the trees will run riot" sign is meant to add to the experience.

A very attractive place to study at a university that narrowly missed getting"excellency"status in a recent report on academic standards at top universites.Münster is a very "comfortable" place to study with a vibrant night life for students.Finding suitable and affordable accommadation in central parts of Münster is very difficult.However living and studying in Münster is difficult to beat.The locals are pleasant enough but being from Westfalen is just a tiny bit different than say being from the Rheineland!!!The proof of the pudding is.........!The University is top.Mr.Wessels(the boss)is ruthlessly efficient and very demanding.He knows what he wants and normally gets what he wants.However graduates of Münster University are highly sought after.
