Museum by the sea
The Museum am Meer in Büsum provides information about the history of crab catching and processing on the North Sea and the history of tourism in Büsum.
The museum is located directly at the harbor basin II in Büsum and in the same building as the Büsumer Fischereigesellschaft, whose premises can be viewed through windows from the museum. Depending on the time of day, the visitor can follow the introduction and processing of the crabs and, for example, observe a crab sieve in operation.
Shrimp fishing and mudflat surveying are presented in two films; the wheelhouse of a shrimp cutter is available for a driving simulation and other interactive elements are also represented in the exhibition.
The cutter Leonore Johanna from 1920, which is located outside the museum, can be viewed through incisions in the hull.
The history of tourism in Büsum and the history of the place itself are presented in films, slide shows and installations.
The museum was partly funded by the European Union.
