A brand-new experience of a legendary story

Reopening 14 June 2025

The Museum in Transition

We are preparing something special. The Schengen Museum is currently closed for renovation. We look forward to welcoming you back on 14 June 2025, along with the return of the iconic boat Prinzessin Marie-Astrid Europa – and a brand-new immersive exhibition. Until June you can still visit our temporary visitor centre at the historic Koch’Haus. After that, we’ll be getting ready for the move to the new museum. Guided tours continue to take place and can still be booked during this transition – subject to availability and current conditions.

From 14 June, we look forward to welcoming you at the brand-new Schengen Museum.
