The Haithabu Viking Museum also proved to be a crowd-puller in 2023 with more than 180,000 visitors (2022: 174,000). Almost 100,000 visitors - the highest number since before the pandemic - visited the Museum Island Schloss Gottorf in Schleswig and enjoyed exhibitions such as the one on the life's work of Christo & Jeanne-Claude and that of award-winning photographer Samuel.
