You can get lost in this Hamburg museum for half a day, and if you try to talk about it even in the form of a briefing, then a couple of pages may not be enough. A magnificent museum with one of the largest private collections in the world is located in the most suitable place for it - the unique historical Speicherstadt. 9 floors offering an extensive collection on all maritime topics: sea expeditions, medieval shipping and modern navy, life at sea and military operations, shipbuilding, as well as hundreds of paintings, ship models and objects related to ship life. If you have at least a modicum of interest in marine life, or if you have children in your company, then spending 2-3 hours here will be one of the best decisions.
The foyer will greet you from the first steps with a maritime atmosphere, where, while waiting for a tour or pushing in line for tickets, you can already soak up the sea air, feel the notes of bravado inherent in the workers of the sea, and also briefly look at examples of what awaits you on 9 floors of endless maritime history . After buying a ticket, there may be several options for the development of events. Or you can wait for the organizational tour, which is included in the ticket price. Tours are held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at lunchtime (specify the exact time when buying a ticket). Or you can take an audio guide in English or German, plunge into the world of stories and information and walk to their accompaniment from the 1st to the 9th floor. Or, as many do, take the elevator to the 9th floor without permission, so that you can walk through the halls of the museum from top to bottom with a lesser burden.
Ships from all over the world, ports and naval battles are presented here in miniature. From a small fisherman to a cruise ship, there is a place for everyone on a hundred shelves. At one time, similar models were used to illustrate naval battles and naval maneuvers. Although, personally, in my youth, for such purposes, I used a checkered sheet and a set of cliché d expressions: past, wounded, killed. All possible variants of existing and fictional ships will significantly expand your horizons and knowledge of the design of ships, depending on their purpose. From ordinary plastic models, the collection moves on to masterpieces made of amber, wax and ivory. Well, then ship models evolve to human-sized specimens with all conceivable and unthinkable sailing equipment. A separate room presents models and photographs of the projects of the largest container harbors in Europe: Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam.
Deck 8 Let's go down to the deck below and get into the art gallery. Here everything is according to the canons of the best art museums. Breakdown of the halls by century and country-residence of the authors. The works of our Crimean landscape painter Konstantin Aivazovsky also came here. Deck 7 The marine exploration section will take you deep underwater. The thirst to learn as much as possible about the marine environment and its inhabitants for each person begins with books by Jules Verne or programs about the Cousteau team. Here you will be offered facts, developments and discoveries made by the German Maritime Research Center. Deck 6 Steam-powered commercial and passenger iron ships revolutionized the transportation of goods and people over long distances by sea.
Migration in those days developed the theme of passenger shipping, the image of which today is supported by huge snow-white liners with all the conditions for a luxurious life right in the middle of the ocean. The department also tells about the development of cargo flows and the capabilities of modern ships. There is also a coffee machine nearby with a special coffee brand Cap San Diego. In the process of increasing the concentration of caffeine in the body, at stands nearby, it will be possible to study the process of caffeinization of Hamburg. Well, whoever this topic will literally conquer, I recommend going to the Speicherstad Museum, where you can continue your excursion into the world of caffeine addiction. Deck 5 is entirely dedicated to war and peace in the waters. World battles, victories and defeats, military operations and the navy in detail, models and paintings.
The uniform of officers and privates, personal weapons and very real expositions will tell about the incorrigible habit of a person to fight and stand up for their interests. Deck 4 Continuing the theme started on the floor above, the collection will tell about life on board, the spiritual state and aspects of the health of seafarers. Deck 3 The technical side of shipbuilding. How this industry has developed over the centuries from art to scientific and technical excellence, from traditional craftsmanship passed down through generations to modern technological process using computer and laser technology. Deck 2 Here you will be told everything about sailing ships before the advent of mechanical propulsion. Greek galleys, Viking kayaks, warships of the era of the sailing fleet with huge sails will tell about the main events of those times when the main maritime powers distributed the spheres of maritime possessions.
They will not ignore such a burning topic even today as piracy. Deck 1 Dedicated to marine and terrestrial discoveries in general. Famous navigators, means of communication and positioning away from the coast. The science of navigation and auxiliary discoveries will be fully presented, helping to facilitate orientation in the sea space, where to this day there are no google maps and signs to help. There are also workshops of amateur modellers who are working to improve the museum collection, and a little further on a unique project is presented - the largest passenger liner Queen Mary 2, assembled from almost a million parts of the Lego constructor. A novelty of the museum is a professional ship control simulator located on this deck.
But this time it did not function, and after more than 2 hours of researching the museum's collections, I did not bother with the problems that affected its performance. Foyer After exploring the 9 decks of entertaining collections, you will find yourself back in the foyer. It's time to stock up on souvenirs and books, take a break on the benches without saying goodbye to the atmosphere of the place you like, replenish your strength in a local restaurant, or go out into the courtyard, where you will find a few more trophies in the form of torpedoes and anchors. A visit to the museum should be equated with a global event, after which you should definitely take an hour's walk, or sit down in a nice cafe for a hearty lunch. I would not recommend compiling the next museum immediately out of sheer fatigue and a deliberately biased attitude towards the subsequent object. It is unlikely that something can overshadow the immense 16 thousand square meters. m exposures. Address: Koreastrasse 1 Cost: Adults €12.50, children €9.00, Hamburg Card €8.
