Australian National Maritime Museum

The Australian National Maritime Museum's vision is to explore and manage maritime heritage in ways that enlighten, inspire and delight people everywhere.
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 artifacts, lively exhibitions, exhibition programs, fun activities, and even the chance to board ships and experience life on the water. Over 500,000 people visited the museum in 2009-10 and was named among the 12 'coolest museums' in the world by the British Sunday Times.
