Dear visitors, the DSM is undergoing change and our exhibitions are being redesigned. During the renovation period, we will 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 beginning March 15 (ships daily from 10 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.). The extension building will remain closed until 2024. In the future, the permanent exhibition newly installed there will focus on shipbuilding, the development of passenger shipping, the use of the seas as a supplier of raw materials, and marine research.
