Danish Maritime Museum, Maritime museum in Helsingør, Denmark.
The Danish Maritime Museum occupies a former dry dock beneath ground level, featuring exhibitions about naval history and seafaring traditions across multiple levels.
Inaugurated in October 2013, the museum building designed by architect Bjarke Ingels incorporates a 1955 industrial dry dock into its underground structure.
The museum presents Denmark's maritime legacy through ship models, navigation instruments, and artifacts that reflect centuries of connections between Danish society and the sea.
The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00, with extended hours until 18:00 during July and August, and includes wheelchair-accessible facilities.
Children can explore a 400-square-meter indoor playground called Drømmeskibet, where they operate cargo cranes and navigate through engine rooms.
