About Port Museum of Dunkirk
On the quays of Dunkirk, one of France's great maritime cities, the Port Museum tells the rich story of the port and the men and women whose lives were bound to the sea. Housed in a former tobacco warehouse, its collections gather ship models, paintings, instruments, figureheads and maritime objects tracing the history of shipping, fishing, shipbuilding and trade in this northern harbour. The visit extends outside to the quayside, where historic vessels — including a magnificent three-masted sailing ship — can be boarded and explored, bringing the seafaring past vividly to life. Fascinating and hands-on, the Port Museum of Dunkirk offers an immersive journey into the maritime heritage of the town and the wider world of ships and sailors. Absorbing and family-friendly, it is a rewarding cultural stop in this resilient and historic port city of the North Sea.
