Who we are
Exhibiting Museums
The following museums in Britain, Germany and Denmark hosted major exhibitions on Jutland itself or the war at sea in which Jutland was a key event. Alphabetically, these are listed below. You can click to get further information or link to their sites.
The museum was opened on September 15th, 2015. It tells the story of four years of war in the North Sea with focus on the Battle of Jutland. The battle took place so close to the Danish coast that the guns could be heard on the very spot in Thyboron where the museum is situated.

The German Naval Museum at Wilhelmshaven is in the old dock area where many of the ships of the German navy were built. Outside lies the damaged starboard barrel of SMS Seydlitz after it was hit during the engagement. Previously, the barrrel was exhibited at the Naval church in Wilhelsmhaven.
