The Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig occupies a building planned by Oskar Sommer in Italian Renaissance style, which opened in 1887. The museum grew from the art and natural history cabinet of Charles I, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, and the infobox lists the Niedersächsische Landesmuseen Braunschweig as owner. The infobox and text agree that the museum was founded and opened in 1754. The article does not say who commissioned the 1887 building or when construction began.

The article gives no materials or dimensions. An extension was added in 2010, and the article does not name its architect. The historic building closed for about seven years for renovation and reopened on October 23, 2016.

The collections include old master paintings, over 100,000 prints, 10,000 drawings and medieval objects housed at Dankwarderode Castle. It gives no address, hours or admission.
