About
Quick facts: The museum displays over 40,000 artifacts related to Danish maritime history. It is built partially underground, protecting sensitive exhibitions with a reinforced concrete structure.
Highlights: Visitors descend 15 meters below sea level to enter the main exhibition, an experience that evokes the depths of the ocean. The museum houses a detailed 18-meter model of the warship frigate Jylland, one of the last wooden ships built in the 19th century.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking through the underground exhibitions and stairways.
- Bring a camera to capture details of the 18-meter ship model, especially in the museum's natural light.
- Avoid weekends to visit the frigate ship, when it is busiest.
- Try the available audio guide to better understand the stories behind the artifacts on display.
