Wintermuseum Hamburg - Tutanchamun und Körperwelten

Museum

😠 Pure rip-off! Today we visited Tutankhamun. The whole thing is in a tent and has NOTHING AT ALL to do with the name. Half of the exhibition is based on the film "The Mummy" and laminated autograph cards and props are presented in display cases on velvet fabric. What does THAT have to do with Tutankh... People often mention exhibition, tent, money, exhibits, display, circus, Body, floor,

    Pure rip-off! Today we visited Tutankhamun. The whole thing is in a tent and has NOTHING AT ALL to do with the name. Half of the exhibition is based on the film "The Mummy" and laminated autograph cards and props are presented in display cases on velvet fabric. What does THAT have to do with Tutankhamun?! Some exhibits are attached to chipboard with hot glue. It's an unbelievable horror! A single unworthy misery! The name WinterMUSEUM is more than questionable!!! The whole thing is located in a circus tent, in the second half of which you can also see the Body Worlds exhibition. Which is perhaps even worse off. As we walked we were able to take a look at corpses set up without display cases. The tent is leaking everywhere. It drips onto the cheapest display cases with screws sticking out of them. Even in the tent you wade through large pools of water that are half secured to the lawn with plastic sheets. It constantly drips through the roof. Also on a 4,500-year-old mummified woman who is clumsily laid out under a pane of glass. The whole thing in constantly flickering colorful disco lights. And right next to it is the Dixikloo! It's so incredibly undignified! I'm disappointed. Annoying. Shocked. I am at a loss for words. The whole thing is morally bottom drawer and not worth a cent! NO ONE should look at this or even pay any money. The whole thing should be banned and the exhibits should go to real museums. Incomprehensible.

    In my opinion, an absolute misleading at an inflated price. Anyone who has seen the exhibition “Body Worlds” by Gunther von Hagens would not have expected to see such a small and inferior exhibition. The whole thing takes place in a tent, the other half of which also houses a pharaoh exhibition. When I was at Body Worlds (Lübeck) two years ago, I was fascinated! I wanted to see it again and went to Hamburg today with a clear conscience. I was completely horrified! It rains in several places in the tent and not all of the specimens are under glass. The smell is deplorable despite the open tent. And even though there is a floor made of plastic panels, you constantly step into deep puddles because the floor suddenly gives way. I can only recommend everyone to take the route to Berlin, for example. In my opinion, this exhibition is not worth a single euro! The pictures on the website are also misleading in my opinion as they show a massive building. It is very cold, wet; it stinks and the preparations cannot be surpassed in their lack of loveliness.

    The temporary winter museum in Hamburg Horn is simply disappointing. It's in a leaky circus tent where everything gets soaked every time it rains. Safety concerns are common here, with broken tiles and cables lying around. The Dixi Klos are the summit, and signage is a foreign concept. The descriptions online are misleading, and instead of a museum you can expect a tent that doesn't even protect you from the rain. And the entrance fee? Absolutely disproportionate to the performance offered. Many we met share this opinion. But beware if you express your disappointment on Facebook - then you will simply be blocked. As if that wasn't confirmation of her shortcomings! The exhibits have little to do with Tutankhamun; many come from the film “The Mummy.” A disco light ensures the height of unprofessionalism. If I could, I would give negative stars. One star is the maximum. Save your money and disappointment!

    The worst exhibition organization in the world. A cold circus tent with terrible lighting. The exhibits are old, falling apart, there is water on the display case, the exhibits are not visible. Entrance is 20 euros for this exhibition, it’s a scam.

    That was an absolute disgrace! The exhibition takes place in a large tent! The floor was partly open. Laminate packings were then placed there to compensate!!! The exhibition is super small and really not worth the money!!!!

    Even 1 star too many! Incomprehensible! Old circus tent with a cobbled together floor! Body more plastic. Some no labels. Sometimes no lighting. Body parts without a glass case lay on tables. Alleged fetuses on pillows. You could have taken everything with you like that. A glass box wet! Unworthy if they were actually real body parts. Advertised tumors not present at all. I wouldn't have even paid €5 for it with that knowledge. Rip-off to the power of three! It's still surprising that Eventim supports something like this!

    That was an absolute disgrace. An exhibition in a broken circus tent, far too cold, broken floors... far too expensive €20. The body exhibition was not what was advertised! You can really save yourself the money or go straight to the Body Worlds Museum in Berlin!

    Stay away from this exhibition! Carelessly placed boxes on 30 square meters with many imitations and few originals. The tent is drafty and leaky. If you are not an absolute lover, you should not invest your money in the completely overpriced tickets.

    We really expected more for the price. It was very disappointing - you are in a large, poorly constructed tent and the exhibits are very run down! No comparison to the videos that were shown to me as advertising on Instagram I wouldn't recommend this exhibition to anyone. I wouldn't waste my time there again, even for free

    Way too much money for such a bad exhibition. Some of the showcases are wet because it is raining. The floor is uneven and there are things lying around everywhere. Don't buy tickets and rather go to the permanent exhibition in Berlin.

    This exhibition deserves zero points. The inhumane and despicable body parts lying around somewhere unprotected...some at the mercy of the rain from a leaky circus tent. The exhibition itself poorly organized. You could have read a lot if the light had allowed it. This is just a quick way to make money. Far too much money for such a loveless and contemptuous exhibition of people and dark, damp caves!

    I was there today with my class. It was exciting to see but it was just ethically wrong how the bodies were treated there. A lot of things were standing around freely without a display case. Actually it wasn't that bad but there were holes in the tent ceiling and the water from the rain dripped everywhere! We even had to wipe the water off a display case ourselves to see the exhibits. The ceiling was dirty and the floor was not laid out properly. There were tripping hazards everywhere. Plus it smelled really unpleasant and the guy in the tent who was checking the cards was also on the phone with his girlfriend or something? There was a lot to see but in my opinion the bodies should be treated better! Dead or alive! Simply ethically incorrect.
