The National Maritime Collection represents Australians' diverse experiences and perceptions of the sea and our waterways. Officially opened in 1991, the museum is relatively new but its collection already comprises more than 40,000 objects.
Australians are closely linked to the sea through commerce, defence, exploration, adventure, sport and play. Our oceans and waterways have influenced our development...and who we are.
The Australian National Maritime Museum captures these themes with fascinating artefacts, lively exhibitions, fun activities and even the chance to board ships and experience life on the water.
