The National Maritime Museum is the largest museum of its kind in the world, with a vast collection that spans artworks, maps and charts, and thousands of other objects. The uniform that Admiral Lord Nelson was wearing when he was fatally wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar is one of the most famous items on display at the Museum.
The collection of artworks includes famous portraits of Sir Francis Drake, Captain Cook and Nelson, and J.M.W. Turner’s huge depiction of the Battle of Trafalgar. The National Maritime Museum appeals to visitors of all ages, with many exhibits designed for younger visitors, including the interactive experience of the Great Map and the Ship Simulator.
The National Maritime Museum is free to visit with the exception of Special Exhibitions and guided tours.
Set amidst a UNESCO World Heritage Site and just a few minutes’ walk from the Royal Observatory, Cutty Sark and Queen’s House. With shops, cafes and beautiful Greenwich Royal Park all at hand it’s the perfect place for a memorable day out.
