Museum fur Hamburgische Geschichte, Edited Version (Museum Picture 1), Hamburg, Sachsen, Germany, 2014
This is the Museum for Hamburg History, known since 2005 as the Hamburg Museum (although the older "Museum fur Hamburgische Geschichte" signage is still up). It is arguably a very diverse museum with a collection spanning from prehistoric times through the 1990's. Some of the more interesting exhibits include reconstructed rooms from 20th Century houses, including one from the 1990's, a display on 20th Century squatting, the remains of a dog sacrificed during a secret pagan ritual during the Middle Ages, a display on Jewish history that includes displays about Jewish organizations (especially sports organizations) that survived in the earlier years of the Nazi regime, the superstructure of a tugboat once used in the Hamburg port (which features a fascinating color documentary film from the 1930's), and a display of pirate skulls with forensic reconstructions (partly faked, as some of the originals have been stolen). There are too many other displays to list here. You'll just have to visit the museum.
