The New Museum
We are open!
Explore the sea with all your senses. At our museum you’ll find adventurous stories, fantastic objects and exhibitions for all ages. The new aquariums offer exciting underwater worlds with seaweed forests, fish and a living coral reef. The sea is our world, welcome!
The renovation
The Maritime Museum and Aquarium has undergone an extensive renovation and extension.
The Aquarium
An underwater world with the world’s ocean at the center. Habitats from various parts of the oceans are shown in different types of aquarium biotopes.
Exhibitions
Explore stories about Gothenburg’s maritime shipping, city and people – in relation to the sea, trade and the outside world.
The Collection
The improvements made in the building also mean that the objects will be able to be handled in a safer and better way.
The Museum park
The glazing in the ground floor arches will open up the museum’s closed façade toward the park. The café’s new location in the building and its glorious summer terrace will make it a meeting place for the entire city district.
The Entrance Hall
Overall goals are access and flow, the work environment and sustainability. The new entrance hall also houses many other functions such as a museum shop next to the reception.
