This museum is located in the historic Old Town of Düsseldorf and immerses you in the history of Düsseldorf, the Rhine River, maritime trade and shipbuilding as it illustrates the different stages of the city's history. The stages of shipping development are illustrated by the myriad ship models in excellent detail. There are many interactive shows that children love, such as a simulation of ship navigation as well as a children's amusement park. After your tour of the museum, be sure to grab a drink in the café upstairs while looking out over the river.
