The Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte is a museum in Hamburg dedicated to the history of the city. It is one of the largest historical museums in Europe. Inaugurated in 1922, the museum is located inside the "Planten un blomen" botanical garden and tells the story of Hamburg's development from its beginnings (around the 9th century) to the contemporary era, outlining the historical-social point of view , cultural, economic and technological aspects of the city. The dedicated section on the history of the Jews in Hamburg is also particularly noteworthy, given the importance that this community has had in the city over the centuries. The museum's collection includes objects, paintings, drawings, ship models, topographical maps, furniture, textiles and coins. Among the main attractions are the large model railway, put into operation at set times, the scale reproduction of the port of Hamburg and the reproduction of the interior of a steamboat. The museum has a second location in the Kramer-Witwen-Wohnung: it is a typical apartment furnished in nineteenth-century style, part of a residential complex built for the widows of the members of the Krameramt (Krameramtsstuben).

The museum is currently closed for construction and modernization works.
