M/S Maritime Museum

Amazing architecture to convert a dry dock to a beautiful maritime museum. A must visit for seafarers. A ticket to M/S gives a discount to ticket to nearby Kronberg castle.

Museum was fantastic, I loved the exhibit on sailor life and it was truly interesting to learn about how technology has evolved for boating. I think the museum is well worth the price (even though I used the Copenhagen Card). Coming here just to check out the architecture is great as well. The entire building is a work of art and amazing modern architecture, I really enjoyed the exhibit on explaining how the museum came to be and how they moved it out of the castle.

I'm honestly disappointed with the museum - I can see the appeal if someone is really into everything related to the sea, but honestly there isn't much to see especially for this admission price. The entire museum can be easily seen in less than an hour, exposition feels chaotic and there aren't any clear thematic or chronological links between expositions. Lots of child-oriented attractions. It's nice that the entire exposition is accessible in both Danish and English.

Great experience. Lots of historical stories, interactive exhibitions, e.g. helping you understand a chronometer, and fun activities for children. Also, great architecture and one of the best gift shops I ever experienced in a museum.

This place has lots to offer and there is a lovely section for children. One can learn about a variety of things such as the role women played, tattoos and instruments to facilitate navigation. Another important aspect of this Museum to appreciate is the architecture. For example, as one ascends the staircase from the cafe, the views are alluring and I tried to capture the unique way in which this place is built in some of my photographs. Before one gets to the exit, there are some wonderful model ships to see.

For people who worked in the 70’s or earlier in an engineering or related heavy industry this museum brings back fond memories of work standards and ethos not present any longer.

Amazing architecture and reuse of the old shipyard! We spent a bit over an hour and a half here. 135kr is the ticket price. We thought it was free as we went in via the Cafe and never saw a ticket counter until leaving through the amazing gift shop. We saw collections of Danish shop models and in particular a lot of fabulous interactive displays covering globalization, wartime and the best kids area i may have ever seen! On display currently is the pearl divers from South Korea. Amazing cultural pearl (pun intended 😎)

If you are into maritime history, this is the place for you! There are tons of unique facts and a lot of baot models from Danish history. There is a pretty cool childresn section as well. The gift shop is lacking.
