Over nearly a century, the Maritime Museum has collected approximately 50,000 museum objects that tell stories of maritime activities, both civilian and military, through the ages. The collections have enormous breadth and contain objects of every size – from entire icebreakers and saloon boats to peices of art and brass buttons.

Some of the objects in our collections are shown in our exhibitions. Others are on loan to other museums or other institutions with maritime connections. Most of the objects, however, are kept in storage.

By finding new connections between objects and creating new groups for them, we are gaining a thorough knowledge of what the museum has chosen to do over the years with our shared cultural inheritance of maritime activities.
