Secrets of the Sea is a brand-new museum complex featuring fascinating stories of tragedy, struggle, and heroism. Inside the museum, you will find an impressive range of exhibitions, including a shipwreck exhibition, an explosion exhibition, a diving exhibition, and a whaling exhibition. At this museum, we uncover forgotten stories and present what is known about some of the most fateful shipwrecks and maritime events in history.

Get up close to dramatic shipwrecks from several hundred years ago, where explosions, accidents, and harsh weather conditions sent vessels to the bottom of the sea. Discover how cutting-edge technology makes it possible to recreate historic wrecks on land and bring their stories to life. Dive into the depths and learn how diving originated in Denmark while exploring the fascinating world beneath the ocean’s surface. Gain insight into the history of whaling as well—from technical methods to the violent and often explosive tools used in the brutal hunt. Learn why humans once hunted whales and the consequences this had.
