Went for the “Out of Office” exhibition which is a great presentation regarding AI and the pro and cons. There have been for a long time mainly focus on the positive side but here they also focused on the negative. After paying the entrance fee you can see all the different exhibitions on display. There is 3 levels that takes you through history of Hamburg workforce and how old printing press works. For the low entrance fee this is an amazing place, and you can spend a lot of time here. There is also a café in the ground floor. The whole “Museum der Arbeit” is a work of art, and with all the different shows on displays you can and will be there for a while.

Some of the most Gothic machinery I've ever seen, and a lot of it surely still works. A great little museum, and also (when I visited) a very good supplementary interactive element about conflict resolution, notionally in the workplace, but easily adapted as a design for life. Very good indeed, and some great photo opportunities if you like big, complicated machinery (mostly printing presses through the ages, but also very early IBM PCs and suchlike ). There's also a museum shop, and a cafe. I liked it 👍

Really nice museum about the history of the industrialization of Hamburg. Has a lot of interactive materials, and I heard that before Covid19 it had even more, so it may be even better once the pandemic is fully controlled. Only downside is that almost all content and information is only in German. So it's better to visit it when you speak it well or with someone who does. The exposes machines are very beautiful even just to see though.

A great place to know about the history of working and tools. It’s a multi-story museum and also has a coffee shop. There are guided tours and workshops which need to be booked in advance. A place where hours just fly by so with kids take some snacks and drinks so the time is focused. For adults it costs and check out the website before coming to plan advance.

Don't waste your time. Compared to museums of technology in many other cities, this one is not worth visiting. One star for the historic building and a few printing press machines. The other exhibitions have the sophistication level of school projects. Unbelievable, but this "Museum of Work" is even more boring than its name suggests.

Please NEVER trust the museum official webpage saying to buy ONLINE TICKETS. It is abig scam - you will pay more and will SAVE NO TIME. YOU WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO THE TICKET COUNTER TGAT THEY HAVE ONLINE TICKETS!!!!!! ABSURDITY AND TOTALLY STUPID.

It is an amazing place rich not only with the kinds of work people would do but also the cultural backgrounds of the same. What was interesting for me was the highlight of gender divide in the work done and tasks divided. They even had a temporary exhibition on female architects, the third within 100 held in Hamburg for male architects.. The total number of exhibitions on architecture being 370

An absolute must to see in Hamburg. Period.

Great place! Many of the devices are still working! Museum workers show in real time, how all works and they have so many different interesting progrmes!

Interesting museum with well thought out commentary on global social injustice. If you have the chance to go see the man and mining exhibition, absolutely do! The museum is also suitable for kids, ages 8 and up.

If you're looking for not-so-obvious place to visit, this museum is for you. The main exhibition is in German, but this days I don't think it is much od the problem. You have a lot od original things, not only industrial machines, but also some documents, clothing, materials, equipment and so on. You can also participate on some workshops - I think for groups it's on demand, but for regular visitors they're doing it on certain date and time - it's worth asking about that. I also had a pleasure to see temporary exhibition about the universe, space and time. It's very, very nice! It's mostly interactive and also english-speaker friendly. It is mostly about science, but also about some cool art. I highly recommend checking it out. The staff is very nice and they love the place. Also, there is nice cafe near the entrance.

Interesting museum on old as well modern working conditions in a great building a part of a nice industrial heritage complex, with good food and drink and public transport nearby. Original temporary exhibitions.

Not ideal for non german speakers. More or less everything is in german. It’s an interesting museum with lot of things to see, nontheless.

The coffee festival was interesting, but the location is somehow tiny for such events

Fascinating objects and rubber making technology. You could also feast on the ambiguity of representations of from colonies on whose backs Hamburg's industriousness gleefully rests.

Went already for a couple of small exhibitions. Interesting subjects. Very German and “work” related...of course, what did I expect from the “Museum of Work” in Barmbek, Hamburg, Nordgermany, Germany, 20210. Ze Zermans. Ja Hi!

This is a small museum and if you visited when there was nothing on you might feel a bit short changed. But the demonstrations of printing techniques were charming and very interesting and made it a great visit. Nice café too.

If you like to see the old technologies and how the industry were working in the past, it has worth to visit here once :)

Very interesting museum showing all sorts of machines from the industrial revolution to today (including T. R. U. D. E. outside the museum - very impressive) ... Most of them still working... There are special presentations at certain times and events where you can see them working. Also many events and tours for children. There are also regular special exhibitions on display... Of course there is a café at ground floor level with inside and outside seating serving coffee, cakes, breakfast, quiches, pasta, soups and so on. The café can also be visited on its own... A small shop is rounding up the package.

I really liked it. They have workstations where traditional crafts are demonstrated (at certain times).

This is very interesting museum for kids. They can see some old mechanics and even try some things like mechanical typewriters or arithmometers.

It's a somewhat between an industrial and technical museum featuring constant exhibitions on printing (2nd floor) and generally working tools (3rd floor). Unfortunately not so much interactivity, especially for children, but they have two mechanical typewriters and old relay telephone commuter, which you can try. In overall it's not that big, one hour is enough for a medium-paced walk through the entire museum. Very friendly stuff, showing and explaining how things used to work. Many plates have English translation.

Rather dry and dull in parts (especially as many exhibits were locked up or closed off) not really recommended for non German speakers. The buildings themselves are quite interesting and on the last Sunday each month is a large flea market on the grounds which is in itself worth a look

Such a great museum. The exhibitions are really well designed and we liked the interactive elements. There is an English audioguide. Café was great. Staff at cafe and ticket office were super helpful. Definitely worth a visit!

On Sundays there extra activities for kids, it is worth going early so you may register for one of the activities available!
