If you have time (cause the museum isn't easy to access), if your interrested about food, and how…read morethe muller, knorr, Coca-cola, & all the big food multinationals trick you, you need to have a closer look at this museum! I'm even wondering how is it possible it hasn't been bomb yet, to hide all this information from us. Discovering that coke zero contains "cyclamate" supposedly provoking cancer & more! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclamate The point is I just do like my girlfriend always did, only eat fresh product! When possible!

Id read about this secret suggestion on Qype before and desided to take my Dutch friends here on a…read moresundayafternoon. Perfect opportunity considering everything is closed on Sunday and its just near to my house... Actually we wanted to go to the Hagenbeck Zoo, but it was already 3 oclock...And this museum is about animal watching as well...so why not?! This museum is fantastic! The bird section is extremely funny, escpecially the German names. Not that the German language is funny, but more the comparison with the Dutch bird names... The fact that all these animals arent real doesnt make it less entertaining..You can sit next to them, touch them (thats actually forbidden..), take some great photos and compare heights. Last but not least, you dont have to pay entrance, which allows you to just enjoy a short hour of fun and education about animals and the past. Great activity for young and old! And a good laugh..if you go there with some friends.

This museum was really amazing. It reminded me of the Natural History Museum in NYC, but without…read morethe barriers between you and the animals. You could get really close to the preserved animals and it made for a very interesting experience that really gave you a better sense of what the animals are like (you don't realize how big a grizzly is until you stand up next to it).

Hard to believe, but Altona and Hamburg were two rivals. Now Altona is part of Hamburg (a nice,…read morecharismatic part), but I guess there still was a need to have its own museum. And I must say, well done guys! Small, but very informative museum, revolving around Elbe and everything which comes with it: shipbuilding, whaling(thank God it's in the past), fishery, sea trade, port and so on. A message is clear: the river is a key to regions past and the future. There's a beautiful collection of figureheads occupying the whole room. Also a hall dedicated to Schleswig-Holstein, Helgoland island in particular. This museum is very similar to surprise Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte (Hamburg Museum), but smaller. It has a few things, which its bigger brother doesn't have: the whole interactive section dedicated to kids - Kinderolymp and a restaurant, Vierländer Kater, a house in the house, replicating typical Northen German tavern of 18th century. The restaurant itself worth visiting, great concept!

Oh, this place is so great! It's a spice museum! You can…read morefind plenty of information about spices, their origins, their usage and how there were and are imported. The space is actually in the Speicherstadt, the largest warehouse district in the world, located right in the port of Hamburg. The museum itself is in a warehouse that used to belong to a spice trader, so it's the perfect location for a museum dedicated to educating and advising people on the origin and usage of spices. There are over 500 years of spicy history in this museum! You can touch and even taste over 50 different spices throughout the museum. It's an amazing visit for anyone who is interested in food preparation, history and spices. Also, the entry ticket is a bag of black pepper, so you're getting something out of this visit in any case! You can also buy spices and spice mixtures after your visit. I've been back many times and absolutely love it.

This museum was very fun. It smells very nice inside, although the spices out on display to smell…read morehave pretty much lost most of their smell / blended together with other spices. There were four samples that you could try (roasted chickpeas, sugared chickpeas, and two other sweet things). It was pretty cool walking around and seeing all the different spices.
