Dunkirk Port Museum, Maritime museum in Dunkirk, France
The Dunkirk Port Museum occupies a former tobacco warehouse from the 19th century, featuring three levels of maritime exhibits and four historical vessels.
Founded in 1992, the museum traces the evolution of Dunkirk's port from its origins as an 8th-century fishing village through its development into France's third-largest commercial harbor.
The museum contains ship models, figureheads, technical galleries, and exhibits about Icelandic fisheries that represent the maritime traditions of northern France.
The facility provides audioguides in English, maintains wheelchair accessibility throughout the main building, and welcomes visitors every day except Tuesdays.
Visitors can climb 276 steps to the top of the Risban Lighthouse, constructed in 1842, for views across the English Channel and maritime Flanders.
