Stralsund with children: More in the museum
Activities: We explored the Meeresmuseum, which is housed in a medieval monastery. We admired the architecture and the exhibits, including the whale skeleton, and the models and preparations of various sea creatures. We also explored the exhibition about fisheries
Highlights: The children were fascinated by the exhibits of the Eisbär (polar bear), the giant crab, and the penguins. We also found the exhibition about the fisheries to be interesting, especially the presentation of ship models and the damage caused by fishing in the oceans ✨
