Dear visitors, the German Maritime Museum is in a state of flux. You can still visit the Kogge-Halle, our special exhibition "360° POLARSTERN" and the Museumshafen during the usual opening hours. The exhibitions in the Scharoun Building are currently being redesigned. During this period of reconstruction, we will give you an insight into our work in selected special exhibitions. With the completion of all reconstruction work, the German Maritime Museum will open the completely new exhibition.
