Maritime Geschichte erleben mit PLAYMOBIL
In the organizer's words:
How do you turn a truckload of PLAYMOBIL parts into fascinating historical worlds? And what was it like back then, when Romans, pirates and Vikings set sail and the seas were full of adventure? From May 8, 2026, the International Maritime Museum Hamburg (IMMH) will be presenting the history of seafaring in an unusual way: compact, playful and entertaining.
At the heart of the special exhibition are ten elaborately designed dioramas by renowned PLAYMOBIL artist Oliver Schaffer, which look like snapshots from bygone eras: The first sailors sail the Nile, a Roman galley sets sail for battle, medieval merchants trade in the Orient. More recent history is also covered - from industrialization and container shipping to polar and deep-sea research. The scenes are complemented by audio stations with age-appropriate explanations of the respective eras.
There are also interactive features: In a "time travel workshop", children can design their own time travel passport, while several play stations invite them to creatively explore maritime history. "The exhibition combines playful discovery with historical knowledge transfer," says Peter Tamm, CEO of the museum. "In this way, we are also deliberately appealing to families and opening up new perspectives on our collection."
The special exhibition "Experience Maritime History with PLAYMOBIL" is an experience for the whole family and can be seen from May 8 to November 8, 2026, daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
