The exhibition includes more than 40,000 pieces, making it the world's largest private maritime collection. An absolute highlight of this museum is the floor dedicated to marine biology research.

Very good and interesting tour to get a very good overview of the sights of Hamburg within 2 hours. The guide was very friendly, was very happy to answer any questions and was very well prepared and made it very varied. Gladly again :)

Beautifully presented maritime artifacts and information in extensive and comprehensively themed exhibits. Plan on two to three hours to receive an overview... four to six hours if you intend a fuller immersion. Highly recommended.

Very big museum covering all possible topics about maritime and ships. From my point of view, the price is fair. But be prepared to spend there at least 3 hours if you want to see the complete museum :)

Very attractive and informative museum in a former warehouse, which should allocate a whole day! The scope of the exhibits is gigantic.

Perfect price, app worked well, and for a one day teip its amazing
