Charts and written voyages

Sea charts and logbooks offer different ways of following a voyage. A chart shows space; a logbook can provide information about events. See what context the museum gives before you connect the pieces to one another.

A region with several stories

Prints and other cultural-historical subjects complement the maritime story. Temporary exhibitions can give extra attention to a particular maker or theme. The wooden museum building forms a setting of its own, which is also worth looking at.

Compare opening hours in advance

The usual timetable lists Tuesday to Sunday, but some tourist pages give more limited hours. So check the current museum information shortly before you set off. If you have specific access needs, ask about the route and the facilities available.

Before you go

Check the current opening hours, especially if a guide gives a different midweek timetable.
