The pump as a chain
At a manual fire pump, follow the path of water, pressure and hose. Ask how many people were needed and which parts still work in their original form.
Vehicles show scale
Compare an early vehicle with a later fire engine in terms of storage, reach and operation. Also look at the tools that were used outside the vehicle.
Building and collection
The displays are housed in monumental naval buildings. See how large vehicles, small instruments and walking routes are distributed across these spaces.
Before you go
The 2026 season runs from Good Friday 3 April up to and including Sunday 25 October, Wednesday–Sunday 10.00–16.00. Outside this season the museum is closed to the public. Group guided tours must be booked. Ask in advance which parts are wheelchair accessible; the visitor information mentions free admission for one person accompanying a wheelchair user.
