Museum of Work

Went for the “Out of Office” exhibition which is a great presentation regarding AI and the pro and cons. There have been for a long time mainly focus on the positive side but here they also focused on the negative.

After paying the entrance fee you can see all the different exhibitions on display. There is 3 levels that takes you through history of Hamburg workforce and how old printing press works.

For the low entrance fee this is an amazing place, and you can spend a lot of time here. There is also a café in the ground floor. The whole “Museum der Arbeit” is a work of art, and with all the different shows on displays you can and will be there for a while.

It is an amazing place rich not only with the kinds of work people would do but also the cultural backgrounds of the same. What was interesting for me was the highlight of gender divide in the work done and tasks divided. They even had a temporary exhibition on female architects, the third within 100 held in Hamburg for male architects.. The total number of exhibitions on architecture being 370

Some of the most Gothic machinery I've ever seen, and a lot of it surely still works. A great little museum, and also (when I visited) a very good supplementary interactive element about conflict resolution, notionally in the workplace, but easily adapted as a design for life. Very good indeed, and some great photo opportunities if you like big, complicated machinery (mostly printing presses through the ages, but also very early IBM PCs and suchlike ). There's also a museum shop, and a cafe. I liked it ????

Not ideal for non german speakers. More or less everything is in german.
It’s an interesting museum with lot of things to see, nontheless.

Really nice museum about the history of the industrialization of Hamburg. Has a lot of interactive materials, and I heard that before Covid19 it had even more, so it may be even better once the pandemic is fully controlled.

Only downside is that almost all content and information is only in German. So it's better to visit it when you speak it well or with someone who does. The exposes machines are very beautiful even just to see though.

The coffee festival was interesting, but the location is somehow tiny for such events

Don't waste your time. Compared to museums of technology in many other cities, this one is not worth visiting. One star for the historic building and a few printing press machines. The other exhibitions have the sophistication level of school projects. Unbelievable, but this "Museum of Work" is even more boring than its name suggests.
