museum in Aabenraa

– The provincial port with a
global maritime history

Open today12pm - 4pm

The maritime history
of Southern Jutland

The museum bears witness to proud merchant shipping traditions that once flourished in Aabenraa.

In fact, sailing remains an important element of the town’s identity.

In the 18th century, ships from Aabenraa operated a shuttle service between the Baltic and the Mediterranean.

Merchant shipping transformed the little market town into a flourishing shipping and shipbuilding centre.

In the 19th century, ships set out from Aabenraa bound for harbours in America, Australia, Africa and Asia.

On their return, sailors brought back exotic souvenirs and tales of their adventures across the globe.

Accessibility

The museum is housed in a building from 1937, and the exhibitions are spread over several floors.

Unfortunately, there is no lift in the building and it is therefore difficult for guests with reduced mobility to move around in the house.

The staff, however, is always ready to offer assistance.

A ramp from the museum's disabled parking lot behind the museum provides access to the museum's temporary exhibitions gallery.

Infants

The museum is accessible with a pram.

There are baby changing facilities by the toilets.

Dogs

Dogs are not allowed inside the museum, but are welcome in the grounds if kept on a leash.

Please remember to pick up after your dog.

Guide and assistance dogs are welcome inside the museum.
