List of museums in Hamburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of museums in Hamburg contains a list of museums from all thematic areas, as well as collections, memorials and exhibition halls in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg . In addition, museum-like institutions, provided they belong to the relevant associations (e.g. Museum Association Hamburg e.V. ) or participate in the Hamburg Long Night of Museums or are listed in several publications under the heading Museums.

As a rule, the numerous galleries and exhibitions in Hamburg that focus on sales or facilities that mainly serve a different purpose, such as the churches in Hamburg or the Hamburg town hall , are not listed, unless they have also set up a museum themselves.

The list does not claim to be complete and complements the article Culture in Hamburg , in which a thematic allocation and further explanations can be found.

Museums that no longer exist as well as museums outside of Hamburg with special reference to the Hanseatic city are listed in separate sections.

Museums outside

The museums located in the neighboring towns of Hamburg, in Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony are often included in publications on the Hamburg museum landscape. In addition, there are various partnerships with Hamburg museums in the broader metropolitan region of Hamburg , for example in the area of ​​marketing or joint offers of admission tickets. A precise delimitation is difficult in this regard, which is why only a few museums with a special Hamburg connection are listed below.
