👍👍 A visit to the museum is worth it. You learn so much about Duisburg's city history. The exhibits on display were very interesting. The staff gave us a friendly welcome and the entry price of under 5 euros is also great. People often mention Duisburg, exhibition, museum, Mercator, interesting, history, great, city, Museum, sehr,

    The Duckomente is ENTlich in Duisburg. Well worth seeing and not just for Donaldists. We had a great time.

    It's nice when everything about a city is in one house... why, why, why did Duisburg become like that? And only the artistry of Gerhard Mercator, who was able to make globes and maps - learn something about foreign peoples in the Köhler-Oswald collection, you will gain understanding.

    We were there for the first time today despite being born in Duisburg and the story about Duisburg was really great, unfortunately the Duckormenta exhibition was over, I would have loved to have seen it, but it was still super interesting and informative...

    The main exhibition is very beautiful and informative The special exhibition “Duckomenta” is also worth a visit The exhibition "Enmity - Partnership - Friendship" is absolutely uninteresting, you can skip it... All employees very friendly The entrance fee is also very cheap €4.50

    I went there out of boredom and was really pleasantly surprised at what a great museum Duisburg has. The various exhibitions offer plenty of variety. I liked the Mercator exhibition best. There is a great interactive world map there. Unfortunately you are not allowed to take photos there, but you are allowed in the other exhibitions. The exhibition about the development history of Duisburg was designed with a lot of effort and has many small details such as: B. the Duisburg skyline in the background. Unfortunately, some visitors only comply with the mask requirement at the checkout area. There were some people in the exhibition rooms without a mask or with a mask under their chin. Here the staff should control more strictly.

    We came for the Duckomenta, which delivered what it promised in every respect. The car park next door is a bit hidden, costs €1.30 per hour and the exit was difficult to find. Only cash payment is possible at the checkout, which wasn't a problem given the fair reduced entry price of €2 per person (for students). The outstanding special exhibition was housed in the other exhibitions, beyond its exhibition wing and with great attention to detail. The Mercator exhibition was a bit hidden, but the search was worth it. The originals are cleverly presented very well against light and humidity. The museum was neither overcrowded nor too big. You don't have to travel kilometers and you can clearly see how the intended path through the respective exhibitions is laid out. I'm definitely blown away by the value for money and had a wonderful day. As long as you think about cash in advance, nothing stands in the way of your visit!

    Small but fine museum with an interesting and informative exhibition about Duisburg's city history. A highlight is the Mercator Treasure, where old globes and atlases can be admired and the development of mapping from its beginnings through the Mercator projection to modern navigation systems is shown. There are regular special exhibitions and several times a year the Mercator Matinee takes place on Sunday mornings in the beautiful Mercator Hall, where lectures on changing topics are given. Absolutely recommended!

  • 5/5 Detlef B. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) More than just the typical "Heimatmuseum". Housed in a stylishly renovated and expanded old granary in the Duisburg inner harbor, with a direct view of the new state archive. In addition to the existing urban history collection, the museum also has a large coin exhibition, an exhibition on the subject of mills and an extensive exhibition on the subject of Mercator and the emergence of modern maps. It is highly recommended to treat yourself to the luxury of a tour of the museum's treasury. We were shown there in an impressive way that knowledge and information can also be conveyed in a very entertaining and entertaining way. (Original) Mehr als nur das typische "Heimatmuseum". Untergebracht in einem stilvoll erneuertem und erweiterten alten Getreidepeicher im Duisburger Innenhafen, mit direktem Blick auf das neue Landesarchiv. Neben der natürlich vorhandenen stadthistorischen Sammlung verfügt das Museum noch über eine große Münzausstellung, eine Ausstellung zum Thema Mühlen und eine umfangreiche Ausstellung zum Thema Mercator und die Entstehung von modernen Landkarten. Sehr empfehlenswert ist es sich den Luxus einer Führung durch die Schatzkammer des Museums zu gönnen. Wir bekamen dort auf eindrucksvolle Weise gezeigt das man Wissen und Informationen auch auf sehr unterhaltsame und kurzweilige Art vermitteln kann.

    (Translated by Google) I was here on business last year at the invitation of the city. I can't say anything about the exhibition, it may be good. However, the behavior of the employees before the start of the event, which - as I said at the invitation of the city - was like chatting about the laundresses at the cash register and to the friendly request whether they paid for one at the cash register Parking meter could change, since only limited parking spaces were available, in an offensive and bossy tone with NO! answer and then end the "conversation" by demonstratively turning away to devote yourself to further private conversations during the service period. Elsewhere, this rough "Ruhr area charm" is referred to as insolence. Sincerely yours Dr. Sebastian Heimann, Münster (Original) Ich war im letzten Jahr dienstlich auf Einladung der Stadt hier. Zur Austellung kann ich nichts sagen, die mag gut sein. Zu wünschen übrig lässt aber das Benehmen der Angestellten, die vor Beginn der Veranstaltung, die - wie gesagt auf Einladung der Stadt hier erfolgte - wie die Waschweiber unten an der Kasse quatschen und auf die freundliche Bitte hin, ob sie an der Kasse Geld für eine Parkuhr wechseln könnten, da nur zeitbegrenzte Parkplätze zur Verfügung standen, in geradezu beleidigend-herrischem Tonfall mit NEIN! antworten und das "Gespräch" dann auch durch demonstratives Abwenden beenden, um sich ihren weiteren Privatgesprächen während der Dienstzeit zu widmen. Diesen rauen "Ruhrgebietscharme" bezeichnet man woanders als Ausverschämtheit. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Dr. Sebastian Heimann, Münster

  • 3/5 Gianluca I. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting museum of local history, from prehistory to the post-industrial era. Then there is a collection of coins and archaeological finds, the result of a donation. A section on Mercator, who lived dead in Duisburg, is essentially composed of geographical books. The temporary exhibitions are bad: long texts in German and Dutch, plus replicas of the original objects. Authentic artifacts are few. (Original) Interessante museo di storia locale, dalla preistoria all'era post- industriale. Poi c'è una collezione di monete e reperti archeologici, frutto di una donazione. Una sezione su Mercator, vissuto a morto a Duisburg, è composta essenzialmente di libri geografici. Le mostre temporanee sono pessime: lunghi testi in tedesco e olandese, più repliche degli oggetti originali. I manufatti autentici sono pochi.

    Sehr empfehlenswert! Einfach tolle Eindrücke, die gesammelt werden können. Intuitive Mitmachmöglichkeiten. Tolle Filme und Tonaufnahmen.

    (Translated by Google) A beautiful city museum. Provides a good picture of the history of Duisburg. A very interesting history that should get some more attention. The museum takes you from the first inhabitants to the present time. Unfortunately the Mercator exhibition was closed. In addition to local history, there is also an extensive collection of payment methods from around the world to see and a historical collection with artifacts from eg Egypt. (Original) Een mooi stadsmuseum. Brengt de historie van Duisburg goed in beeld. Een erg interessante historie die best wel wat meer aandacht mag krijgen. Het museum neemt je mee van de eerste bewoners tot en met de huidige tijd. Helaas was de Mercator tentoonstelling gesloten. Naast de lokale historie is er ook een uitgebreide collectie betaalmiddelen vanuit de hele wereld te zien en een historische verzameling met artefacten uit oa Egypte.

    Ladies and Gentlemen Yesterday I had the great pleasure of being a guest in your piece of jewelry, what a great gem in Duisburg, starting with the two knowledgeable ladies (Anna and Julia) at the checkout, who were incredibly friendly and hardworking (one of the two ladies is extra went to the basement to get a new release from Mercator Verlag that had just been delivered and sold it to me) and were helpful, right down to the lovingly detailed and informative exhibitions with their sometimes astonishing exhibits. Thank you very much for everything once again in this way!
