In Hamburg, you can visit the Panopticum – the wax museum, which is considered the oldest in Germany, where famous images and historical characters come to life. The Customs Museum is housed in an old warehouse building and houses artifacts related to the city’s trade and maritime history. The Ethnological Museum offers extensive collections of objects from Africa and South America, and the Spice Museum is unique in Europe for its fragrant and historical exhibits. Fans of technology and science will be interested in Electrum – the Museum of Electricity, and the Automobile Museum “Prototype” with rare racing cars, and the large-scale complex Autostadt near the Volkswagen plant turns the car into a whole cultural program. The Alton Museum of Northern Germany tells about the life and shipbuilding of the region, the private Ship Museum demonstrates marine relics, and the collection of antique dolls at the Falkenstein Museum attracts connoisseurs of unusual collections. In the vicinity, it is worth noting the State Museum of Pomerania in Greifswald, which complements the picture of the history of northern Germany and expands the possibilities of interesting day trips.
The museum life of the city is dynamic: temporary exhibitions are regularly replaced in the halls and imported expositions come, educational programs and thematic projects are held. Many museums participate in city-wide initiatives and nightly activities, where you can visit the halls in an unusual format and take themed excursions. Keep an eye on the posters and official websites of institutions – especially in spring and autumn, new projects and joint exhibitions with international collections are actively appearing.
