A museum about life in, with, and on the sea<\/h2>

Since 1968, the Fisheries and Maritime Museum has brought generations of visitors closer to the sea. The museum combines natural history and cultural history and explores the relationship between people, animals, and the sea through research, collections, live animals, exhibitions, and educational programs. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Fisheries and Maritime Museum was founded in Esbjerg, where the port and the fishing industry have played a crucial role in the city\u2019s development. For nearly 60 years, the museum has been one of the city\u2019s largest and best-known attractions, as well as a scholarly institution focused on the natural and cultural history of the sea. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The museum\u2019s scholarly work covers topics such as Danish fishing and seafaring, the natural environment of the Wadden Sea, and marine mammals in Danish waters. This knowledge is incorporated into the museum\u2019s exhibitions and its interactions with the public. <\/p>\n<\/p> <\/div>\n

A part of Museum Vest<\/h2>

The Fisheries and Maritime Museum is part of Museum Vest, which brings together the cultural and natural history museums in the Municipality of Esbjerg.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Museum Vest works to create experiences and new knowledge that spark conversations, provide food for thought, and open up new perspectives on the unique part of Denmark that the museums explore and showcase.<\/p>\n<\/p> <\/div>\n

A New Story About the Ocean<\/h2>

The Fisheries and Maritime Museum is on the verge of the biggest transformation in its history, as it will be transformed into Denmark\u2019s museum of the sea in the coming years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The renovation is not just about the buildings, but also about the content, the exhibits, and the way the museum communicates the ocean. The goal is to create a museum that can, to an even greater extent, foster knowledge, curiosity, and understanding of the ocean\u2019s significance for people, nature, and society. <\/p>\n
