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.

The visitor centre

We warmly welcome you to our temporary location at the historic Koch’Haus until 1 June 2025. Here you’ll find tourist information about Schengen and the border triangle, as well as resources on the European Union. A selection of EU-themed items and regional products is also available — perfect for souvenirs. Open daily from 10:00 to 18:00. The visitor centre will close on 2 June as we prepare for the move. From 14 June, we look forward to welcoming you at the brand-new Schengen Museum.
