Hamburg museums are home to fascinating historical tales of German culture and art. Some of the most popular ones include the following:
  • Panoptikum – Das Wachsfigurenkabinett: The Panoptikum museum in Hamburg is one of the country's most beautiful and oldest wax museums. Every wax figure in this museum took around two long years to be carefully carved. Visiting Panoptikum will provide you with a once-in-a-lifetime experience as you admire the life-like local and foreign celebrities, most of whom formed a significant part of Hamburg's history.
  • International Maritime Museum: Located in the Hafen City, Hamburg, the International Maritime Museum has kept the maritime heritage alive and running. It's one of the most famous museums and has safely stored 3000 years of naval history with its 26,000 ship models, 5,000 paintings and 50,000 construction plans.
  • Spicy’s Museum: Hamburg is a critical European harbour where spices are brought in bulk. It paved the way for the need for herbs in the city, giving birth to the Spicy’s Museum. The place is an antique storehouse of all kinds of spices that you can smell, feel and even taste. It's likely to take you on a 500-year-long journey through a quick peek into the cultivation and processing of exotic spices.
The Panoptikum museum is one of the best museums in Hamburg that is suitable for young kids curious to watch famous personalities up close. The museum is home to over 120 wax statues of celebrities, both local and international. These include Angela Merkel, Angelina Jolie, Marilyn Monroe, Queen Elizabeth II, Barack Obama, and so many more. Additionally, an Anatomy Gallery and a Chamber of Horrors help complete the exhibition wonderfully.
