We visited: INTERNATIONALES MARITIMES MUSEUM HAMBURG
This summer we visited several attractions throughout Europe and in these series of articles we will bring you photo reports from each of them. Next up is the Internationales Maritimes Museum Hamburg.
The Internationales Maritimes Museum Hamburg which is German for International Maritime Museum is a private museum in Speicherstadt (warehouse district) of Hamburg, Germany. The museum houses Peter Tamm's collection of model ships, construction plans, uniforms, and maritime art, amounting to over 40,000 items and more than one million photographs. It opened in a former warehouse in 2008.
The private collection was started in 1934 by Peter Tamm when Tamm was six years old. As Tamm retold the story, the initial event was when his mother presented him his first model ship. Prior to the opening in the HafenCity, the collection was called "Wissenschaftliches Institut für Schifffahrts- und Marinegeschichte" (Academic Institute of Shipping and Naval History) and located in a mansion at the Elbchaussee street and only open by appointment. In 2004 the Hamburg Parliament approved a grant for a new museum in the HafenCity quarter. On 25 June 2008, the museum was opened by the German president Horst Köhler.
The collection shows more than 36,000 items on 12,000 m2.
