The main attraction of the city of Hamburg in Germany is undoubtedly its great cultural heritage. It has 60 excellent museums, 40 theaters and more than 100 clubs or music halls. Many of the museums, including the History Museum of Hamburg, are spectacular. As the name implies, this museum aims to inform its visitors of the great history of this wonderful city. Located in the neighborhood of St. Pauli, in the middle of a beautiful park, its large red brick building was inaugurated in 1922. It was built over a baroque building from the 17th century. It was destroyed by Allied bombs during World War 2 and its reconstruction took time, and was finally completed with the glass dome 1989.

The whole development of the city, the ways of life of its inhabitants, their occupations, the various ethnic groups that settled there, port activity, the figures in its history, the various Historic times transited Germany (including war and Nazism), furniture of bygone eras, boats at different scales, a section devoted to Jewish culture, a large number of videos and photographs all very interesting and translated into English, and generally the great culture that characterizes open and diverse, are there presented and represented by a vast and valuable collection gathered over two centuries. The museum has an extensive ground floor, first and second floor, basement, cafeteria, central courtyard and a small corner at the entrance, where you can buy some souvenirs. It is worth spending a full day at this museum and learn all the "open" hamburger society has contributed to the development of Germany and Europe.
