National Maritime Museum

The national maritime museum is a museum located in Greenwich, just outside of London. It celebrates the maritime history of the English and has a number of sea-faring artifacts. The museum contained model boats, old dishes, medals and trophies, and areas for kids to play in. There was a small bit of history about the British naval tradition, but it wasn't nearly as extensive as I thought it should have been.

At the time I visited, the museum was undergoing an extensive renovation.

There are a couple other things worth seeing in the area - the Queen's House and The Royal Observatory.

Cost

Entrance to the National Maritime Museum is free.

Getting There

You can take the DLR to Cutty Sark and follow the signs from there. For more detailed directions, see the review for The Royal Observatory.
