Automuseum PROTOTYP (Hamburg)

7 Shanghaiallee, Hamburg, Hamburg

Description

The Automuseum PROTOTYP focuses on German sports, classic and vintage cars since 1939 (the earliest models are a VW39 and Porsche Type 64). There are also some interactive exhibits, including a Porsche 356 driving simulator, and stories/exhibits about racing legends.

Access & Transport

Address: Shanghaiallee 7, 20457 Hamburg Bus stops Koreastraße is next to the building. The closest metro station is Überseequartier (U4), 500m away and Meßberg (U1), 700m away. The closest car parks are "Elbarkaden", “Überseequartier” and "Speicherstadt"

Instructions & Recommendations

We suggest combining this activity with an exploration of the surrounding Warehouse District and the nearby International Maritime Museum or Miniatur Wunderland

Meta review

The museum gets mixed reviews. Most people enjoy the cars on display but many comments that there are mainly from 2 brands (VW & Porsche) and that the venue is quite small considering the price. In addition, vehicle windows are kept closed which makes it difficult to see and appreciate the interiors.

Environmental & Social

Socially neutral and marginally negative from an environmental standpoint due to the electricity consumption (lighting and heating or a/c)

Conclusion

The Prototyp museum is good, but we would not consider it as a prime attraction of Hamburg. Best reserved to car afficionados and those with spare days in town.

Key positive

A little expensive considering the size
