Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony
The Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture is responsible for 20 state-run universities, numerous non-university research institutions and associations as well as supra-regional cultural funding and the preservation of historical monuments. In addition to theaters, monument preservation, libraries and museums, culture in Lower Saxony also includes the fine arts, literature, music and regional cultural promotion. The cultural sector is also an important economic factor, so investments in the cultural sector are also investments in economic growth.
