BIG dock is the new permanent exhibition, which gives visitors the opportunity to get close to the star architect Bjarke Ingels’ thoughts, visions and creative process about the creation of the already iconic underground museum building that houses M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark.

The exhibition ‘BIG DOCK’ opens on May 15.

How global is your breakfast or the products in your shopping cart? The upcoming exhibition ‘THE MAGIC BOX – Shipping, Shopping and the global consumer’ focuses on the consumer culture and the signifiance of shipping for you and me.

Sail through a world of navigational instruments of times past, while surrounded by sea, coasts, stars, and myths.

 A treasure trove of model ships and ship portraits.

The fear and dread experienced by Danish seamen sailing as passive participants on the warships of World War I and World War II.
