The National Maritime Museum at Greenwich is the world's largest maritime museum and one of the most significant heritage institutions in existence. Part of Royal Museums Greenwich — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — the Museum holds over 2.5 million objects spanning every aspect of seafaring history, from ancient navigation to the age of steam and beyond.
Its collections include paintings, charts, instruments, ship models, logbooks, and personal archives that document the full sweep of Britain's relationship with the sea. Among its most celebrated holdings are works by Turner and Hogarth, the uniform worn by Admiral Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar, and one of the world's finest collections of navigational instruments.
As a partner of the Historic Ships Network, the National Maritime Museum brings unparalleled institutional depth and scholarly authority to a community united by the conviction that maritime heritage belongs to everyone.
