Here we present you a selection of exhibitions worth seeing, which are open for you.
25 Years Speicherstadtmuseum
The Speicherstadtmuseum looks back on a quarter of a century, but the planned anniversary celebration is unfortunately cancelled due to the Corona Pandemic.
13,000 to 14,000 visitors per year are allotted to the museum and Speicherstadt tours alone.The family tours “Speicherstadt – the discovery tour for children” are particularly popular. Inquiries are now also coming in from Austria and Switzerland.
Further regular events of the Speicherstadtmuseum are the coffee and tea tastings as well as the detective story readings.The Long Crime Nights are particularly popular, where several authors read under a common motto. What is sorely missed, however, is the opportunity to show special exhibitions. Since moving to the current premises at Sandtorkai in 2011, no more space has been available for this purpose.
