Altonaer Museum
Altonaer Museum
(Anja Peters)
As one of the largest German regional museums, the Altonaer Museum deals with the art and cultural history of northern Germany and presents the cultural-historical development of the Elbe region around Altona, Schleswig-Holstein and the coastal areas of the North and Baltic Seas. The collection contains graphics, paintings, textiles, toys and cultural and historical objects from the areas of handicrafts, shipping, life and work in the country and in the city.
With its exhibitions and events, the Altonaer Museum is increasingly combining historical topics with the perspectives that arise for today's residents and that determine their identity within Hamburg: urban development, flight and migration, inclusion. The museum deliberately opens up to the outside world and cooperates with numerous associations and initiatives.
Since 2008, the museum has belonged to the Hamburg Historical Museums Foundation.
