The history of the museum goes back to the "Heimat- und Coast Museum", which opened in 1951 and dealt with the history of the settlement in Wilhelmshaven. Since 1997 the museum, which has changed its name and location several times, has been called the “Coastal Museum” and has been housed in the current building since 2000. The first part of the current permanent exhibition opened in July 2006 and the other parts opened a little later. The museum has been part of Wilhelmshaven Touristik & Freizeit GmbH since 2001. Since 2010 it has been a station on the Route of Industrial Culture in the northwest .
As part of the permanent exhibition "wal.welten" until 2011, the skeleton and plastinated organs of a 15-meter-long sperm whale that was stranded off the island of Baltrum in 1994 were shown . In spring 2011 the skeleton and organs were moved to the Wadden Sea House on the south beach.
