Despite several years of acquaintance with Hamburg as a whole, I understood its museum riches like a cat in precious stones. But having behind me a wealth of knowledge of the museum nomenclature in cities and smaller ones, I could no longer be more proud of the fact of my low education. I decided to start today and it was decided to do it in the most mysterious and expressive district of the city - Speicherstad. The Customs Museum stood in my way somehow by itself, probably unaware of my manic habit of visiting all places unknown to me. Therefore, despite the deviations from the general plan, with a confident gait, I went to my first museum in Hamburg. In a long brick building with a loading dock and on the customs ship Oldenburg, which is moored right here on the canal, customs officers reveal the secrets of their daily work. Historians dig here deeply and thoroughly.
Therefore, the story will begin on the second floor from the time of the Roman Empire, when Germany was about 2000 independent small state entities and each with its own customs. It also provides a chronology of developments in the state and customs education of Germany up to the present day. Costumes, documents, inventory and well-arranged showcases will give entertainment to the eyes and information to those who speak German. The first floor of the ude deals with the activities of customs today. Smuggling, world trade chains, migration and border control. There is a separate department dedicated to counterfeit products and methods of its recognition. As well as instructions for negligent tourists that they should not drag with them to the airport from the countries they visit. Right at the exit of the museum in the canal, a customs vessel is parked, to which there is free access.
The ship is quite well-groomed and will appeal to those who have not been on ships often in their lives. The engine compartment, living quarters, offices - nothing supernatural, but quite interesting to get acquainted. I would not call the museum a must-see, although you won’t get worse from a visit to it. A half-hour stop will come in handy here, given the cheapness of entry. But I would not count on admiring emotions.
