Traveler reviews
T Yo
★★★★★4 years agoThere's an incredible amount of information and artefacts at this museum. Too much in fact! They also have a huge miniature train set that is operated and described (in German) for 30 mins on a nearly hourly basis. Fun for kids.
Erik Blatt Lyon
★★★★★4 years agoReally interesting. The descriptions of items exist both in English and German. Plenty of huge models of ships and landscapes as well as large installations that put you inside ships etc. Would recommend for all +12 years if you want an lively and (at places) interactive insight into Hamburg’s past and present.
