Inside the museum, visitors can explore a variety of exhibits that showcase Grass's literary career, including original manuscripts, photographs, and personal artifacts. The museum also hosts regular events and lectures related to Grass's work and the broader cultural context of his era. In addition to its permanent collection, the Guenter Grass House also features rotating exhibitions that highlight other aspects of contemporary art and culture.
Beyond its role as a museum, the Guenter Grass House is also a hub for cultural exchange and community engagement. The building includes a café and bookstore, as well as spaces for workshops, performances, and other events. The museum's location in the heart of Lübeck's historic district makes it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, and its commitment to promoting dialogue and understanding across cultures and generations has made it a beloved institution in the city.
