What visitors say
A fantastic place to visit if you're spending the day in Greenwich. The museum is massive, beautifully laid out, and completely free to enter. The permanent galleries are fascinating—especially the massive ship figureheads and Nelson’s uniform. It does an incredible job of framing global history through Britain's relationship with the sea. The building itself is airy, clean, and right next to Greenwich Park, making it a perfect stop. Highly recommend!

Excellent national museum. No cost to visit. Great exhibits including an area honoring Horatio Nelson. Saw the uniform he was wearing when he was shot and killed. Highly recommend making a special trip to visit this museum even if you have limited interest in nautical history. One block from the Cutty Sark.
