Musée du Port 2000 is a specialized museum dedicated to the evolution of Le Havre's port, one of the largest in Europe. Housed in a modern building near the port area, the museum uses interactive exhibits, models, and historical artifacts to tell the story of maritime trade from the 16th century to today. The highlight is the focus on Port 2000, a massive container terminal that transformed the port's capacity. Visitors can see scale models of container ships, cranes, and the terminal layout, as well as learn about logistics and the global shipping industry. The museum also offers panoramic views of the working port from its terrace. It's an educational experience that connects Le Havre's past as a transatlantic hub to its present as a container gateway.
