Exhibitions

A port is a venue, a place for travelling in time and space, a place where dreams emerge. Exhibitions at museums are also venues and journeys in time, and maybe even places for dreaming?

I had «tailwind», and didn’t leave for a life at sea because I had to, but because I wanted to. Everyone wanted a life at sea

From sail to steam

The exhibition on the ground floor focuses on the difficult, but important transition from sail to steam.
