Our Sailors
Why is there a perfume by Jean Paul Gaultier, old film posters, cigarette packs, toys and a Donald Duck comic at M/S?
The Gate to the World
At the harbour, the sailor bids farewell to his life as a son, husband and father and embarks into another world – that of the ship and sea.
Aboard

Navigation and World Views
Sail through a world of navigational instruments of times past, while surrounded by sea, coasts, stars, and myths.
Ships of All Times
A treasure trove of model ships and ship portraits.
