Spread across several historic buildings inside the dockyard, the museum covers five hundred years of British naval history, from Tudor warships to the modern fleet. Highlights include Nelson's personal effects, the 'Sailing Navy' gallery telling the story of the Georgian fleet, and a 36-foot model of HMS Victory.
Don't skip the Hear My Story gallery, which uses video and audio testimony to give a voice to ordinary sailors and their families across the centuries. Included in the dockyard ticket — the price for entry to the dockyard now covers most of the major museums and ships and is best treated as a full-day pass.
