3.000 Jahre maritime Geschichte auf 9 Decks
In the organizer's words:
Hamburg is the gateway to the world and the route through three millennia of maritime history leads via the International Maritime Museum. At a historic site in the heart of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, in the traditional, beautifully restored Kaispeicher B, the sea comes to life - and everything that goes with it. On nine floors, appropriately called decks, the great freedom of the water, the development of shipping and the emergence of global trade routes are within reach.
The exhibition area covers a good 12,000 square meters. Museum visitors can spend hours marveling at exhibits large and small and learn a lot in the process. Contrasts are the attraction: the model of the sailing ship "Wapen von Hamburg III" is 4.30 meters long, while the replica of a dinghy measures just five millimeters. More than 55,000 ship models are on display in this uncomplicated, family-friendly institution in Hamburg's HafenCity, a beacon of maritime diversity.
And much more: fascinating paintings from several centuries, precious globes, historical nautical charts and marine atlases, memorabilia from all over the world. Examples include hand-painted crown compasses, sextants, medals, uniforms, porcelain from the first cruise liners, legendary bone ships, original documents from Napoleon and Lord Nelson.
Anyone who wants to can be inspired by wanderlust. Many of the exhibits collected by museum founder Prof. Peter Tamm from all over the world are unique and of inestimable value. Different themed islands on the decks are knowledgeably structured and lovingly staged. The aim is to convey scientific content in an entertaining way. Hospitality, also towards school classes, certified accessibility and a cosmopolitan spirit are of great importance.
Immersing yourself in the maritime history of our planet should be educational, thought-provoking and, above all, fun. For young and old alike. The exhibition is open to visitors from northern Germany and from afar. Attractions such as a ship handling simulator, luxury cabins of the first passenger ships, a deep-sea world and insights into the home port of Hamburg open up new horizons. The journey through international maritime history starts with a millennia-old tree trunk hollowed out with simple tools and leads through models of Phoenician galleys, Viking dragon boats and the cogs of the Hanseatic era to the high-tech modern era. There are memorabilia made of wood, metal and plastic, amber, silver and gold
Another plus point of the maritime attraction in the Speicherstadt, which can be reached by public transport and launches: The world of the seas and ships is presented on nine decks in a breathtaking, thoroughly maritime atmosphere. Two restaurants, including outdoor dining in good seasons, a bookshop and a modern, well-stocked museum store round off the program.
