Humans and sea: ships and maritime technologies

The German Maritime Museum is being rebuilt. Find out in advance which themes and objects will be shown in the new exhibition.

We are rebuilding our museum. From 2019, you will be able to see an exhibition in the part of the building that is closed off to you, in which we focus on the ship and maritime technologies. In our newly designed cash desk area, we would like to show you topics and objects from our future exhibition in a two-monthly rotation. These will then be commented on here on the blog. Why does a ship float ? What are its individual parts? How is it built today - how has it been planned, financed, staged since the late 19th century? What contributions do ships make to research? How are maritime technologies used to exploit marine resources? How are marine change and ships related? As a research museum, we incorporate the research of our cooperation partners and combine it with our historical view of the sea.
