The Exhibition

Through the exhibition's interactive and audiovisual exhibits you will gain a unique insight into life on board a submarine during wartime.

Hear interviews with the crew who served on U-534 and gain an insight what life would have been like on board. See her amazing recovery operation. Take on the challenges offered by our interactive exhibits such as decoding an Enigma message, identifying ships and marine animals by listening to them or making our model submarine dive and surface smoothly.
