The climate is changing - meteorologically, but also socially.

Climate change raises questions and fuels debate. Researching shipping plays an important role in understanding and calculating the consequences of global warming on the oceans.

Our exhibitions offer insights into research, driving and life on board the famous icebreaker POLARSTERN. "360° POLARSTERN - A virtual research expedition". Extended until 14 October 2020.

World and sea in change - this is the theme of our new exhibition SEA CHANGES, which you can view together with the POLARSTERN exhibition in our new building.
