  • Very interesting museum, well laid out, great exhibits and friendly staff. Went in for a quick look but spent well over 2 hours and could have spent half a day easy in a museum. Well worth a museum...

  • Very nice museum especially for sea and sailing fans. Also gives a very good picture of the development of the Port of Barcelona over the ages. Good amount of models of variety of boats. Great perk: we went there on a Sunday afternoon and the entry was free from 15:00.
  • Pretty good museum with a large collection of maritime memorabilia and boating displays. A sizeable section of the museum had devotion to pictures of a famous artist, Ave being at the start of the museum detracted from the essence of 'maritime' aspect. The large ship reconstructed within the walls stood quite proud, but could have been made more impressive with the displays in either side were faced the other was as to not encapsulate the main display with their walls.
  • Great museum, interesting and suitable even for small kids. They can learn about evolution of boats and gow boat life looked like. There are a lot of great miniature boats, along with couple small full size ones and one big boat replica. On weekdays, the museum is not crowded. There is a restaurant here, where you can have some coffee or sandwitches.
  • Nice place to visit in Barcelona. You can discover how navy has been developed and some history about the Barcelona port. Furthermore there are screen with interactive activities where you can learn something more about navy.
  • This is a very interesting historical place, which promotes culture and were one can see impressive boats. Also for kids, everything is well presented with documents, photographs and objects from that time.
