A brand-new experience of a legendary story
Reopening 14 June 2025
The Museum in Transition
The Schengen Museum is temporarily closed due to construction work. We look forward to its reopening and the return of the iconic boat Prinzessin Marie-Astrid Europa as an important part of the new immersive exhibition. Meanwhile, the visitor centre at the historic Koch’Haus remains open. Our guided tours can still be booked without restrictions.
