The museum is under reconstruction! Visitor information
Due to the new corona regulations of the state of Bremen, our museum will be closed from Monday, November 2, until further notice. In the meantime, we invite you to make greater use of the digital services of our museum.
Pack - unpack - arrive: The 380,000 archival records and 60,000 museum objects are in for an eventful time. By the end of the year, they will be moved bit by bit into the new research depot, which is already an eye-catcher in the fishing harbour. The wooden plank façade is reminiscent of the cog. The DSM team is facing the mammoth task of moving all the exhibits, from the button collection to the lifeboat, into the new home and assigning them a suitable place in the 2300 square metre depot.

The LIFTE research project starts on Tuesday, October 20, with a virtual kick-off that interested parties can follow on the Internet.
What are the duties of a digital curator? Isabella Hodgson reveals it. A native of Bavaria, she has only been part of the DSM since November 2020, but she cultivates a decades-old maritime connection.
NEW: Students of nautical science, researchers and fans of the maritime world will be pleased, because the online ship dictionary can be used free of charge from now on. With just one click, technical terms from the fields of marine engineering and shipping can be quickly translated from German into English and vice versa.
In the framework of provenance research, the German Maritime Museum discovered that the single-cylinder four-stroke engine was unlawfully confiscated from the former company owners during the Nazi era.
The DSM's research work on the whereabouts of Nazi looted property will be extended to Hamburg and financially supported by the German Center for Cultural Heritage Losses.
History comes alive: The 105-year-old tide calculator has been restored. Since May 2019, restorer Tim Lücke has cleaned thousands of gears, ball bearings and tidal gears using the new dry ice blasting method.
Only until next Sunday: Many small and large guests have visited KOGGE meets PLAYMOBIL.
