Tirpitz museum

The Tirpitz Museum features four exhibition spaces built into coastal dunes, with glass walls connecting underground galleries beneath the sandy landscape of western Jutland.

Construction of the original Tirpitz bunker began in 1944 as part of Germany's Atlantic Wall defense system but remained incomplete due to the war's end.

Exhibition spaces present regional amber collections, World War II artifacts, and archaeological findings that document 20,000 years of Danish coastal life.

The museum maintains different seasonal schedules, operating from 10:00 to 17:00 during spring and fall, with extended summer hours from 09:00 to 18:00.

Visitors explore the exhibitions with flashlights and audio guides, discovering hidden narratives within concrete structures and underground passages.
