Speicherstadtmuseum — Attraction in Hamburg

The museum also take into account the working conditions of people in the Speicherstadt. This social perspective is something that should be positively valued in this kind of cultural infrastructures. At the same time, it is difficult to follow the English explanations on the tablet because the numerical symbols in the exhibition are not...
