Dear visitors, the DSM is undergoing change and our exhibitions are being redesigned. During the renovation period, we will continue to give you an insight into our work through selected special exhibitions in the rooms that can be used at any given time. Currently, the Cog Hall is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the summer season, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays during the winter season (ships are open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. until October 30). The extension building will remain closed until 2024. In the future, the permanent exhibition newly installed there will focus on shipbuilding, the use of the oceans as a supplier of raw materials, and marine research.
