Museum for Hamburg History

There'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.

An interesting museum, providing insight into the history of Hamburg. Can get discounts via the hamburg card. Most of the information was in English, which was most appreciated. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Really 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.

I wish I had spent more time here ! Completely my fault, we ended up visiting the Altar Elbtunnel first before coming to this museum and so only had 1h30 to visit.
I wish to tha I the ticket seller man who told us to visit the model train section. This was a fantastic suggestion! I also want to thank the model train operator, you made my whole day! The trains were completely spectacular and fantastic to watch. I really appreciate the work you do !!

The musuem had some really interesting history as well as some spaces depicted in period furniture. I also enjoyed the ships and the mock-ups of Hamburg. The paintings were also very nice and well positioned.

Definitely fun to visit if you enjoy history and trains !

Fantastic museum. Showing the beginnings of Hamburg, it's historical shipping and other industries. The model railway is great to watch and operated with slick precision. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I recommend coming here if you have a couple of hours u0026 find out about the history of the city.

Old building with exhibits over 3 floors. Not very well signposted where anything is, but helpful staff to advise.
The museum is very traditional and doesn't offer any exciting displays to make the experience a bit more life-like and enjoyable. A bit boring really.

Some history on the city. Concepts made with modeling of environment and sounds. So you get into typical milk store or in a bomb shelter or teenager room. Very cool train models, running every round hour.
