German Inland Waterways Museum, Maritime museum in Ruhrort, Germany
The German Inland Waterways Museum displays extensive collections of ships, navigation equipment, and maritime artifacts within a converted Art Nouveau swimming facility.
The museum began its journey in 1974 with the acquisition of the museum ship Oscar Huber and relocated to its current location in 1998.
The museum presents the evolution of inland waterway transportation through exhibits that demonstrate the connection between maritime trade and German industrial development.
The museum maintains regular hours from Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with wheelchair accessibility throughout the building.
A complete sailing vessel occupies the former men's pool area, while the second-floor women's pool houses a reconstructed commercial barge.
