Dear visitors, the German Maritime Museum is in a state of flux. 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. Currently, the Cog Hall and the ships are open on a regular basis. The Erweiterungsbau will remain closed until the new exhibition "CHANGE NOW - Ships Change the World" opens in December 2021.

The Cog Hall and the ships can be visited and guided tours of the outdoor area are possible. All dates are in the calendar.
