Durch seinen Hafen war Hamburg schon immer mit dem Rest der Welt verbunden. Der Hafen ist ein zentraler Punkt Hamburgs und um ihm herum bewegen sich thematisch viele Museumsschwerpunkte. Nicht nur der Handel, sondern auch Ein- und Auswanderer haben Hamburg seit je her geprägt wie auch die Hafenarbeiter. Besonders sichtbar ist das in Ballinstadt, der ehemaligen Siedlung für Auswanderer oder der Speicherstadt. Wem das zu öde ist, der kann von einem der Hochseilgarten der Museumsschiffe den Hafen in 30 Metern über dem Meer erkunden. Hamburg ist auch eine Referenzadresse für zeitgenössische internationale Kunst und hat allgemein für alle Altersklassen und Interessensgebiete viel zu bieten. In diesem Museumsführer finden Sie rund 70 Hamburger Museen aufgelistet, versehen mit Kontaktdaten, QR-Code zur Website und Kurzbeschreibung, was Sie dort erwarten dürfen.
