The Harlekinäum (Laughter Museum)
Wiesbaden's Harlekinäum is a 'Museum of Laughter', featuring oddball exhibits from all over the world. It's an ideal day out for anyone who fancies having their funny bone tickled. Explore the world of comedy and the surreal across eight fun-packed rooms. You can even take a guided tour with a difference, courtesy of the museum's "clown doctors". And it's the only place we know of where you have to pay for a ticket to get out! Open every Sunday from 11.11am to 17.17pm (!) from April to the end of August.

Women's Museum
The Women's Museum in Wiesbaden – an internationally renowned institution - was founded in 1984 with the aim of depicting the achievements of women in history, society and culture in order to highlight values that women and girls can identify with. The permanent exhibition is entitled "FrauenStadtGeschichte(n)" (WomenCityHistorie(s)) and focuses on the lives of various women, each of whom left their own particular mark on Wiesbaden during their lifetimes. It honours feminine aspects and names from history that, because of unspoken patriarchal laws, have long been forgotten. The museum also hosts temporary exhibition by artists from around the world as well as a number of events. Open on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, guided tours on request.
